    Fact Check

    Two fake news sites both published articles titled "JEFF BRIDGES: ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULDN'T RECIVE SOCIAL SECURITY. DO YOU AGREE HIM?" (yes, written like that).

    Fact Check

    Fake news website The Sacramento Dispatch ran an article titled: "Trump Refuses to Provide California Federal Support in Midst of Natural Disaster, Cites Sanctuary Cities".
