President Trump is holding a rally in Valdosta, Georgia Saturday night to campaign for David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who face a run-off election against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock Jan. 5 to determine if Republicans keep control of the Senate.
PolitiFact has decided to live-fact-check Trump’s rally, and while they’re giving him “Pants on Fire” for just about everything he says, some are really calling it a stretch for PolitiFact to give him “Pants on Fire” for saying that Ossoff and Warnock are the most extreme far-left politicians in the history of our country. OK, “in the history of our country” might be a stretch, but Politifact seems to think they’re not extreme far-left … but then again, the words “far-left” don’t exist in American media.
In Valdosta, Trump said the GOP Senators are running against "radical Ossoff and Raphael Warnock" and "they're the most extreme far-left candidates in the history of our country." Pants on Fire! https://t.co/Og6jV9kVCV

What a phenomenal fact check.
Claim: David Perdue says Jon Ossoff is a socialist
PolitiFact: “Even if Perdue’s evidence were accurate, it doesn’t square with what socialism is.”
Haha so.. he’s kind of a socialist? https://t.co/E10lJzY9UO

This is not a legitimate factcheck https://t.co/AHgON3kIML

This is not a fact check. This is an opinion. https://t.co/g8pufazYen

The media and those who control 'fact checks' (sometimes the same) are so bent left they think socialism is traditional liberalism. Wokestapo has no irony or history

Just another indication of what the social media companies use as arbiters.
And why we are so annoyed!

So, we haven’t read the fact-check but does PolitiFact reveal who the most extreme far-left candidates in American history were? Outside of the Communist Party’s offerings, we’d bet Ossoff and Warnock come pretty close.
This whole thread is why nobody trusts the media and why "fact checking" is leftist for "propaganda" https://t.co/tdvvtG8y2B
