The 16-to-1 ratio holds for fundraising: Vindman raised about $16.3 million and Nixon about $975,000. On actual spending, the sources show Vindman spent about $9 million against Nixon's roughly $710,000, a ratio near 13 to 1, so the claim's 16 million versus 1 million figures match receipts rather than spending.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
What was said
… Oh, ah, and and Nixon, DSA back beat, ah, Alex Vinman, which is what Trump was talking about. Ah, so it was it was fifty-six forty-three, Vinman. For those of you who've forgotten, was, ah, the impeachment witness against Trump, one of them. Outspent Nixon's 16 million dollars to, ah, under one dollar. So this tells you: not a million, not a million, not one dollar. Say one dollar. 1 million dollar. Sorry, you can admonish me. Um, this tells you the DSA is correcting, the DSA is applying pressure. I'm gonna need some octopus chips. I thought we had A-D. And let's be clear about this, and I want to count Nixon as a DSA candidate. …
Louder with Crowder · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. On spending, which is what "outspent" measures, the July finance data show Vindman spent about $9 million and Nixon about $710,000, so the claimed 16 million versus 1 million spending figures do not match the record.[2][3][4]
Supports. Multiple reliable outlets report Vindman raised about $16 million or more while Nixon raised under $1 million (about $975,000 to $974,845), so the 16-to-1 fundraising gap is well documented.[1][4][5][6]
Supports. Nixon herself said "We were outspent 16 to one," and NYT describes Vindman as having raised more than 16 times as much money, so the ratio is a common way of describing the gap.[5][7]
Context. The primary result was Nixon about 56% to Vindman about 44%, so the broader event is well established; the disputed element is only the spending versus fundraising measure.[1][2][3]
