A tweet from Politifact today had a lot of people checking their calendars:
This tweet was obviously supposed to be posted on April 1st.

Who’s up for a “celebration of facts” featuring CNN’s Brian Stelter, among others:

Will the “celebration of facts” event feature Dan Rather and Brian Williams too?

Another featured guest at the “celebration of facts” is Democrat Sen. Mark Warner, who is helping push lies about the Georgia election law:
When other states are passing laws making it a crime to give voters water while they wait or reduce access to ballot drop boxes, I applaud @GovernorVA for taking steps to ensure that all Virginians have access to the ballot box. We should make it easier for all Americans to vote. https://t.co/YAT50Wdren

That’s total BS, but apparently not enough to disqualify a Democrat from being included in a celebration of fact-checking.
