GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s #BigLeagueTruth team accomplished its goal of getting its message out to an astounding number of people during Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate between Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.

The 2,500 Twitter users selected by the campaign to “fact check Crooked Hillary,” were sent text messages from the campaign along with directions to retweet throughout the night.

Between 11 p.m. Oct. 4 and 9 a.m. Oct.5, #BigLeagueTruth had a whopping reach of 23,253,508 and spread of 31,430,567, the Republican National Committee confirmed to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

From 12 a.m. Oct. 4 through 9 a.m. Oct. 5, the hashtag was mentioned approximately 22,000 times.

[dcquiz] “We had a 350 percent lift on tweets that were sent to the #BigLeagueTruth team vs tweets that were not,” a source at the RNC told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

According to Trump’s website, where social-media enthusiasts who support the Republican nominee can sign up for the team, the strategy is aimed at advancing his campaign’s message live during debates and fact-checking what the “rigged MSM (mainstream media)” fails to report.
