Donald Trump claimed on Monday said “a lot” of Democratic lawmakers are “calling and they are breaking” with their party over the government shutdown. He did not name names, however, which means this is almost 100% guaranteed to be a lie.

“We have a very big crisis, a humanitarian crisis on the border. Everybody knows it. They know it and many of them are saying, ‘We agree with you.’ Many of them are calling and many of them are breaking.”

Trump took a jab at Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Robert Menendez, who was photographed over the weekend on a Puerto Rican beach as a quarter of the federal government was closed.

“I’ve been here all weekend. A lot of the Democrats were in Puerto Rico celebrating something. I don’t know, maybe they’re celebrating the shutdown,” Trump said.

The Democrats were in San Juan Puerto Rico with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to learn infrastructure and economic challenges Puerto Rico is facing in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island, and they will meet with local officials.

Trump was called out for his lie by Daniel Dale, a reporter with the Toronto Star who basically work as a Trump fact-check at this point.

Trump says many of the Democrats in Congress are "calling" him and saying "we agree with you" on the shutdown.

Like many of the suspiciously-helpful-to-Trump phone calls Trump describes, there is little chance this is not a lie.

Others felt the same:

We should all stop quoting things he says. Nearly everything – EVERYTHING – is a lie or a lie about a lie.

Sounds about as true as all the presidents who told him they agreed with him on building a wall

I'd like him to name ONE, just ONE Democrat who called him up to say they agree with him. Same with the government workers he claims are fine going without a paycheck in order to secure a wall, just name ONE of them.
