"I want somebody at Politico or the NYT to fact-check her statement that her dad had to walk 30 miles to work every day"

Fact check... that's not what she said.

"Now, we only had one car, so sometimes my dad had to hitchhike and walk long stretches during the 30 mile trip home from the shipyards."

I walk 30 miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra-snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of a human skull
Now come on take a walk with me, Stacey
And tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
You, Papa
Who do you love?
You and Mama

Healthy walking pace is about 3 MPH, so she claims he was walking 10 HOURS PER DAY.

Sorry, it was 30 miles one way, and he hitchhiked some of it. Anyway, THIS IS A LIE.

OBESE MONSTER.

Bill,
I want somebody at Politico or the NYT to fact-check her statement that her father had to walk 30 miles to work every day.
That's an exaggeration. Here's her exact words:
Now, we only had one car so sometimes my dad had hitchhike and walk long stretches during the 30-mile trip home from the shipyards.
Seems plausible.
