AP FACT CHECK: Claims in the VP debate
WASHINGTON — Not all the claims in the vice-presidential debate stand up to scrutiny. A look at some of them and how they compare with the facts:

REPUBLICAN MIKE PENCE: “Eliminate the Iranian nuclear weapons program?”
KAINE: “Absolutely, without firing a shot.”
