Here at Twitchy we’ll often refer to Joe Biden as something like “the presumptive President-Elect,” and there’s a good reason for the “presumptive” qualifier: As much as the media would like to think they’re the ones who make the call, Joe Biden is in fact not yet the “President-Elect” because the Electoral College has not made it official.
Candace Owens said something similar a while back in a video posted to Facebook, and one of their third-party fact-checkers (Politifact in this case), deemed “Joe Biden isn’t the President-Elect” to be a false claim and flagged the post. Many would have perhaps moved on, but not Owens, who fought the “false” ruling and described what happened next:
Weeks ago, @Facebook censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that @JoeBiden is NOT the President-elect.
So I got lawyers involved.
Conclusion? @PolitiFact uncensored the post & admitted that they LIED by rating my post false.
The fact-checkers are lying for Democrats. pic.twitter.com/l2rrLxzku7— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) November 28, 2020
At 8 Months pregnant, I unfortunately cannot fight on the ground alongside patriots like I am used to, but I am taking every measure to fight these communists in the court room. It is my goal to expose these lying “fact-checkers” one by one. @JoeBiden is NOT the President-elect. pic.twitter.com/hW4NLpK4tc

Gee, it’s almost as if some fact-checkers think their job is to guard the Left/media narrative instead of actually checking facts.
.@Facebook and @politifact caught in election interference against @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/bLIQ8phEIc

Facebook "fact-checkers" admit they issued a false "fact check" after Candace Owens got lawyered up. https://t.co/TIokmthzjI
