Their rating
Joe Biden, U.S. president

“Hamas has already said publicly that they plan on attacking Israel again, like they did before, to where they were cutting babies’ heads off to burning women and children alive.”

Washington Post rated this: Caution warranted

Washington Post says: Caution is still warranted, especially at the presidential level, about statements that babies were beheaded. The available evidence does not need exaggeration.

“In every single war that America has fought, we have never asked for land afterwards, except for enough to bury the Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for that freedom we went in for.”

PolitiFact rated this: Pants on Fire

PolitiFact says: McCarthy’s assertion is undercut by two centuries of U.S. history, including land gains following wars against Mexico, Spain, Filipino rebels, Japan and Native American tribes.

Donald Trump, former president

“You can't get out of New Hampshire in an electric car. Where are you going? ‘I'm going to Massachusetts.’ Well, you better get yourself a gas turbine because this car is not going to get you there. Well, you could, if you stop about four times now.”

PolitiFact says: Relying on public chargers alone for long-distance travel can put a real crimp in EV usefulness in a state like New Hampshire. But for commuters with home chargers, anespecially with fast charging, an EV can work nicely.

“Moderna Admits mRNA Jabs Cause Turbo-Cancer”

Social media posts

“The federal government and the Federal Reserve were “raising inflation,” something that “had nothing to do with … getting our economy back in line” but rather to fund a “war against a bunch of civilians.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Hamas’ surprise terrorist attacks Oct. 7 precipitated the war in Gaza. These occurred on Hamas’ own timetable, and happened when inflation in the U.S. had cooled to near-the Fed’s 3% target level.
