.ABC News' DemDebate fact checks: — Cory Booker on accepting contributions from pharma companies — Amy Klobuchar on the Iran deal — Tim Ryan on State Department vacancies — Elizabeth Warren claims seven children die each day from gun violence
Here's ABC News' fact check of the first of two Democratic presidential debates in Miami between Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Gov. Jay Inslee, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former Rep. John Delaney, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, Rep. Tim Ryan and Mayor Bill de Blasio:Moderator:"Sen. Booker, I want to come back on a discussion we were having about health and the opioid crisis.
Booker’s ties to pharma donors began well before his presidential campaign. Individuals and PACs affiliated with the pharmaceutical and health product industry have given more than $480,000 to his campaign and leadership PAC during the course of his Senate career.Klobuchar:"I would have worked to get longer sunset periods and that's something we could negotiate to get back in the deal.
Instead, Iran says that the deal must be enforced as is, meaning the U.S. should lift sanctions and allow Iran to obtain the economic gains of the deal. Until then, Iran has threatened to break through limits on its uranium enrichment stockpiles, which it promises to start doing Thursday, not in a month.Ryan:"This president doesn't even have people appointed in the State Department to deal with these things.
Data from the Center for Disease Control shows that 6.63 children, 18 and under, died from violence-related firearm deaths in 2017, which is the last year those statistics are available. Castro:"The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're using section 1325 of that act which criminalizes comes across the border to incarcerate the parents then separate them. Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it.
O'Rourke has been more hesitant to go this far and says he would prefer to talk about a comprehensive immigration plan. He wants an executive order banning detention of people who don’t have criminal backgrounds. He also wants to raise visa caps so fewer people are trying to cross illegally to join family members already in the U.S.
Connecticut passed a handgun permit-to-purchase law in 1995, which the American Journal of Public Health found was associated with a 40% reduction in gun deaths during the first 10 years of the law. Research from the report also found that states with stricter gun licensing regulations, generally had lower suicide rates.
The top 1% does not control 90% of the wealth, according to a report published by the Federal Reserve in 2017. The richest 1% of families owned 38.6% of the country's wealth in 2016, a record high controlled by the nation's wealthiest. That's more than just 22.8% of the wealth controlled by the bottom 90%.
