Walz didn't flip off football crowd

An image Walz posted on social media shows he was pointing to the crowd at a college football game in Michigan, not raising his middle finger.

Oregon's GOP and the Secretary of State's Office said Trump's voter pamphlet statement was omitted because he chose not to submit one.

A spokesperson for Donald Trump said the claim is false. The former first lady has publicly supported her husband in interviews promoting her book.

The image was edited to change the country Trump referenced in his post. Trump said the U.S. should attack Iran if it assassinates him.
