We already told you about PolitiFact’s garbage excuse for a “fact-check” of Maria Bartiromo on U.S. imports of Russian oil.
Seriously — is fact-checking dead? pic.twitter.com/l4YTf86850

We should’ve known there was more where that came from.
This morning, PolitiFact also posted a fact-check of Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who called out Virginia as “one of only a handful of states that actually taxes our veterans’ retirement” a few weeks ago.
All told, 15 states tax military pensions. That’s a minority, but certainly more than the "handful" Youngkin describes.https://t.co/E9sYZKuAuZ

If PolitiFact didn’t already exist, we’d have to invent them. Not that we’d want to, of course.

At least Glenn Youngkin only got a “Half True” for a true statement. Poor Maria Bartiromo only managed to score a “Mostly False” when she said something true. Maybe PolitiFact is sexist or something.

Three states “fully” tax them. He used the word “actually”.
We can’t even get a mostly true out of you guys? pic.twitter.com/b94DGHeq8Z

This isn’t even hair-splitting; it’s just straight-up partisan hackery.

How many states can one hold in their hand before it’s full?

What is the numerical range for a “handful” of States?

Is it above or below the collective IQ of PolitiFact’s editors?
I rate your fact check as False.
