7 checks for “JD Vance”
“Video shows “leaked audio” of Vice President JD Vance criticizing Elon Musk and saying “he's making us look bad.”
PolitiFact says: An expert who reviewed the audio found signs that it might have been AI generated and is likely fabricated. Also, those sharing the video provided no details about how or where it was obtained, and Vance denied the vide…
“The Oregon secretary of state “removed” former President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. JD Vance from “the official state website.”
“Donald Trump “was president for four years, and he didn’t go after his political opponents. You know who did go after her political opponents? Kamala Harris.”
Washington Post says: We found a dozen examples
“Thanks to her [Vice President Kamala Harris'] open border, murders are up 81% in Springfield, Ohio.”
FactCheck.org says: There were nine murders in 2023. That’s an 80% increase from 2021 — but one fewer than the 10 murders in 2020, when Trump was president. There's no evidence that immigrants are responsible for committing murders.
“A zero-tolerance policy during the Trump administration "led to less family separation than under Kamala Harris' border policies.”
PolitiFact says: The Trump campaign pointed to data about children who came to the U.S. alone without a parent or guardian. Those children were not separated from their parents by U.S. border officials.
“Vice President Kamala Harris said “it was a bad idea to have kids because of climate change anxiety.”
FactCheck.org says: Harris said that young climate leaders had spoken to her about “climate change anxiety,” which included their concerns about having kids in the future. But she did not endorse the notion of not having children.
