We told you earlier about Politifact ruling that a GOP claim that President Biden said he wants to ban handguns as “false.” That alleged fact-check has people calling BS right off the bat. Here’s the House Republicans’ tweet and Politifact’s ruling:

.@HouseGOP said @JoeBiden "wants to ban handguns."
He doesn't. He wants to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Neither would touch the most popular handguns.https://t.co/Ro3WOpJcZn pic.twitter.com/K7gdpvg1oL

Maybe Twitter should slap a “contains misinformation” flag on Politifact’s tweet and article, because it’s certainly called for:
It’s also a total lack of listening comprehension. Let’s look at the actual sentence said!

“The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a 9-millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”
Biden isn’t talking about magazines.— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) July 23, 2021
Biden didn’t say “The idea you need a magazine,” he said “weapon.” PolitiFact is lying. I’d flag it for misinformation, but in addition to deleting all my followers, Twitter banned me from applying as a fact checker because I shared the NYP Hunter Biden story.

And of course the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story was TRUE! Unreal.
