An altered photo attempts to depict Russell and Hawn as Trump supporters, by adding "Trump 2016," American flags and more to their shirts. An image search quickly shows those aren’t the original outfits the couple was wearing. We rate this !

Either way, it’s simply to attribute every non-education job or worker to law enforcement and firefighting. So how does the -O-Meter rule? Crist absolutely mangled the about "60,000 jobs." He had a much better grasp on "20,000 educators." That makes him only a quarter right, so we rule his statement .
