In case you missed it, a few days ago, Wisconsin GOP State Rep. Gae Magnafici tweeted a coronavirus joke at Hillary Clinton’s expense from her personal account:
How the Trump administration squandered time and lost control of the coronavirus crisis https://t.co/UiEByh99Fu

More people have died from knowing Hillary.

Anyone who’s not a complete idiot understands that it was a joke. Which explains why PolitiFact did a whole fact-check about it:
GOP state Rep. and longtime nurse @GMagnafici last weekend tweeted "more people have died from knowing Hillary" than coronavirus. @PolitiFactWisc rates this Pants On Fire. https://t.co/JY8DbO8nCa

Someone got paid for this:
Don’t care for Magnafici’s joke? Fine. But if you’re fact-checking an obvious joke, you’re an even bigger joke.
Where would we be without our fact-checkers? https://t.co/HIVUvYDznB

Slightly less inclined to question the media’s credibility, maybe.

Time to stop taking @PolitiFactWisc seriously. This is absurd.
