Fact-checking night 3 of the Democratic National Convention

Night one of the Democratic National Convention is underway in Chicago.

Night three of the Democratic National Convention is underway in Chicago. Here is a list of fact checks from CNN’s Facts First team. We will update this list throughout the night. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis joined other speakers at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday in attacking Project 2025, an effort by dozens of conservative organizations, led by the Heritage Foundation think tank, to lay the groundwork for the next Republican presidency. After holding up what he said was a copy of the 920-page Project 2025 policy document, which is called “Mandate for Leadership,” Polis said at one point: “Page 451 says the only legitimate family is a married mother and father, where only the father works.” Facts First: Polis’ claim is false. Though the Project 2025 policy document argues for the importance of the “nuclear” family made up of a married mother and father, it does not say that this is the only “legitimate” family – and it certainly does not say that a family with a working mother is illegitimate. Polis’ inaccurate claim echoes an online meme that was debunked last month by Snopes, USA Today and others. Mary Vought, vice president of strategic communications for the Heritage Foundation, told CNN in a message on Wednesday night: “As a working mother myself, I know this claim is simply a lie. The Mandate for Leadership says nothing about which families are ‘legitimate.’ If Gov. Polis actually read the page he cited, he would know that.”
