Republican presidential candidate and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is being accused of "misleading" the audience attending one of her town halls earlier this month over the sale of land in South Carolina to China while she was governor of the state.

The liberal Washington Post's resident fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, awarded Haley "four Pinocchios" for "sidestepping" when one audience member said, "I saw something on the internet that said you gave China thousands of acres of land in South Carolina. Why would you do that?" 

"Don't believe what you read on the internet … We didn't sell any land to the Chinese. But, yes, I recruited a fiberglass company," Haley responded.
