    Fact Check

    Did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delete a February 24, 2020, video of herself from Twitter in which she encouraged people to visit Chinatown in San Francisco?

  • Fact Check: NY Gov. Cuomo Did NOT Reject Buying Recommended 16,000 Ventilators In 2015 for Pandemic

    Fact Check

    Did New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reject a recommendation for his state to buy 16,000 ventilators in 2015 in preparation for a pandemic? No, that's not true: That is disinformation being spread among conservatives, misinterpreting the facts of a 2015 report by a New York task force about the need for ventilators during a pandemic.

  • Fact Check: Evidence Does NOT Show The WHO Director-General Overstated COVID-19 Fatality Rate

    Fact Check

    Did the World Health Organization's director-general overstate the COVID-19 fatality rate when he said that it was many times that of the seasonal flu? No, that's false: Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus accurately stated that the death rate of COVID-19 is much higher than the flu.

  • Fact check: Eight Iowa Counties Do NOT Have Total Registration Rates Larger Than Eligible Voter Population - NO 18,600 Extra Names on Voter Rolls

    Fact Check

    Do eight Iowa counties have more registered voters than there are people eligible to vote in those counties? No, that's not true.

  • Fake News: Kamala Harris Did NOT Say Criminals and Illegals are Better Than US Servicemen

    Fact Check

    Did Kamala Harris say criminals and illegals are better than U.S. servicemen? No, that's not true: one website drew that conclusion based just on the order she mentioned people in these groups in a Father's Day tweet. That website later removed the article making the claim, presumably because the tweet doesn't support that conclusion. And that is when the story…

    Fact Check

    Did a "top prosecutor" reveal that he has evidence that Hillary Clinton colluded with Ukraine during the 2016 U.S. election?

    Fact Check

    Did former President Barack Obama say he supports the seizure of white farmer's land in South Africa? No, that's a fake quote, made up by a website that plagiarises articles from other websites about real news events and then adds some invented claims in the headline and first paragraphs to attract more clicks and make more advertising money. The quotes…

    There is no truth to the story that Chuck Schumer received $500,000 in campaign donations from several pro-illegal immigration groups just before the vote on the budget that failed to pass, leading to the government shutdown.
