“President Biden said no one making under $400,000 will see their federal taxes go up. That’s a lie, just like he lied about Afghanistan. In fact, under his plan, an average family who earns over $50,000 will see a tax increase.”

Washington Post says: McCarthy is basing his claim in part on a quirk in the 2017 tax law passed by Republicans

“What I know I will do is block legislation like he said he would sign, where a child is kept comfortable after the child is born when a decision is made whether that child lives or dies. He called that legislation common-sense legislation and said he would sign it.”

“I’m speaking to you as a victim. Virginia simply won’t be safe with four more years of Terry McAuliffe.”

“The folks that are around President Biden today in his White House talking about foreign policy are the same leaders — a fellow named Brett McGurk sent $150 billion, pallets of cash, to the Iranians, who are hosting the senior al-Qaeda leadership in Tehran today.”

Washington Post says: This is a zombie claim that has been debunked before.

“We inherited a deadline. We did not inherit a plan.”

“I used to tell [former senator] Frank Church this — I got a — my first job offer, where I wanted — my wife — deceased wife and I wanted to move to Idaho because we think — not a joke — because it’s such a beautiful, beautiful state. And I interviewed for a job with Boise Cascade.”

Washington Post says: Biden has spoken in the past of nearly practicing law in Boise

“Studies of our drone strikes have suggested that maybe eight out of 10 times we are hitting the wrong target, we have killed thousands of civilians.”

Washington Post says: Murphy is wrong to claim that “studies” show that 8 out of 10 times U.S. drones have hit the wrong target. He’s talking about the supposed track record during a five-month period in a region of Afghanistan 10 years ago.

“It’s been widely reported that somebody has the ability to push the button and cut off his sound and stop him from speaking. Who is that person?”

“HHS should consider using march-in rights when drugs face limited competition or market practices have failed to ensure an affordable price, ensuring that prescription drugs invented with taxpayer dollars are reasonably priced and affordable.”

“ALL EQUIPMENT should be demanded to be immediately returned to the United States, and that includes every penny of the $85 billion dollars in cost.”

“The Pfizer vaccine which is currently available is still under emergency use authorization and it still has the liability shield … The product that’s licensed … it’s called Comirnaty. … that’s the one that liability waiver will no longer apply to.”

Washington Post says: Both versions of the vaccine have the same liability protections.

“During [Terry] McAuliffe’s tenure as governor, the murder rate went up 43 percent and the rape rate went up every year.”

“When we took office in January, the Trump administration had not processed a single special immigrant visa since March of 2020, in nearly a year.”

Washington Post says: Sullivan misspoke and meant to refer to Interviews -- which is not accurate either.

“Instead of having a counterterrorism capability to have small forces there in — or in the region to be able to take on al-Qaeda if it tried to reconstitute, we decided to engage in nation building. In nation building. That never made any sense to me.”

Washington Post says: Biden's position has evolved in ways that he does not easily acknowledge

“We trained and equipped an Afghan military force of some 300,000 strong — incredibly well equipped — a force larger in size than the militaries of many of our NATO allies.”

Washington Post says: A common way to measure a company’s investment in research and development is as a percentage of revenue. Drug companies are are at or near the top of industries that invest in research and development.

“They want to repeal a protection in Medicare that protects access to my medicines. They call it negotiation, but it really means the government decides what medicines I can get.”
