The House of Representatives (212 Republicans and 22 Democrats) recently voted to censure radical Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., because she has "levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7."
One of those outrageous falsehoods was clinging to the false claim that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. But guess what? Our professional "fact-checkers" haven't located that lie... or any other nutty utterance, like her laughable claim that "from the river to the sea" isn't a Hamas slogan about the eradication of Israel, it's an "aspirational call for freedom" and "peaceful coexistence."
With Democrats, the so-called independent fact-checkers rush to correct Tlaib critics, and not Tlaib – just as they rush to correct President Biden's critics, and not Biden. Maybe those critics deserve correction – but so do Democrats, especially when they lie about alleged "war crimes." The facts don't always lean to the left.
PolitiFact takes the cake, since Tlaib has only one "fact check" in her four-plus years in Congress, and it's a "Mostly True" in 2020 for asserting, "Detroit spent $294 million on police last year, and $9 million on health." This is ludicrous, since policing is an essential city government function, and government-funded health care is more of a state and federal function.
Or is the worst one FactCheck.org? Their Tlaib archive page lists eight fact checks – and all eight are focused on Tlaib's opponents. Or Snopes.com? A search found 13 checks attacking anti-Tlaib posts (10 in 2019), but nothing evaluating Tlaib. Several were from satire websites like "Taters Gonna Tate." Then there's LeadStories.com, who flagged a post clearly marked satire, suggesting Tlaib advocated removing the American flag from classrooms.
Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler isn't ruling on Tlaib, since he's too busy right now picking on former President...

biden and ilk’s ‘facts’ do not align with reality- that’s why
Biden knows he needs his far left jew hating pro hamas goons in order to win in 2024..you see them on TV screaming that they wont vote for Biden of course they will
Fact check- the media’s way of rehabilitating their lies with a fresh set of lies.
“Fact checkers” are for the Derpstate/DNC/media complex to truth what the Gestapo was to civil rights.
Tagline says it with every post.
I doubt if there are any fart-checkers out there, to include the ones USA Today uses, that would want to pounce on Rashida the Queen of the Desert Caravans.
