I think it is important NOT to ID government workers that Trump plans to fire as "non-partisan civil servants." They should be called FIRST as "professional scientists, engineers, economists, and lawyers who implement our laws." Calling them mere " civil servants" diminishes their expertise and makes them sound expendable to low-information voters.
In reality, the moderator wasn't "fact-checking." The facts are already checked. She was fact-reporting in response to a false claim. (All media need to recognize this and start relentlessly fact-reporting.)
