I like what you're doing. Here are my thoughts:

The widget on the right side looks cool, but the UX overall doesn't make sense for me because I don't want to rewatch the debate or scroll through that tiny region. Is there another way you could structure the information that lets me quickly know the context of the fact-check was, then read the blurb? What you've collected is more interesting to me; I just need to be able to watch the debate clip that will give me context.
