Twitter CEO Elon Musk fact checked a sitting U.S. Congress member for spreading false information on the social media platform.

On Monday, Musk fact checked far-left California congress member Ted Lieu for “linking to misleading data.”

I'm beginning to think he did do it for humanity.. 👇🏽https://t.co/1Oc59GG5Ho

Ted Lieu Attacks New 'Twitter Files' as Misinformation, Immediately Gets Dragged by Elon Musk for Spreading Misinformation https://t.co/rqnNwvAha9

— RedState (@RedState) December 27, 2022

Lieu tweeted in response to Monday’s TWITTER FILES drop that exposed the platform’s prior censorship of COVID information that was true but inconvenient to U.S. government policy.

“Dear @davidzweig: The tweet you cite is in fact misleading. People of all ages at high risk from COVID generally benefit from vaccines. Prior natural immunity may last only a few months. COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children,” Lieu tweeted.

One tweet in reply to Lieu stated: “@tedlieu The preprint you linked to has actually been re-written as a result of my critique because it is seriously flawed and inaccurate. You linked to the old version.”

Musk then tweeted, “Ted is linking to misleading data @CommunityNotes.”

Afterward, Lieu deleted his tweet.

Afterward, Lieu deleted his tweet.

A somewhat influential, if not just loud..a la Schiff...person in the US House of Representatives, who drafts and votes on law that we must obey, who somehow finds it convenient to exempt himself and fellow members of Congress from these very same laws, someone who can support the tsunami of illegals pouring over the border because he knows he’s insulated from it, someone that can trade stocks based on inside/confidential information......is too much of an effin’ COWARD to back up a statement and go toe to toe with Musk.

That’s Liberal Leadership 101, in 2022.

“The Congressman for Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.”
That tells us all we need to know.

Lieu, Shifty Schitt, Bela Pelosi, Swallowswell. Only Kalifornia could continuously send these Marxist creeps to Congress.

“ COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children,” Lieu tweeted.

That is not just misleading information; it is a bald-faced lie!

Arizona Department of Health and Safety reports that there have been fewer than 80 Covid deaths for all young people under the age of 20 since the beginning of the pandemic for our state. They appear to be using the definition of “died with Covid” rather than “died from Covid”.

Elon Musk can’t be President because he isn’t a “natural born citizen” (as if that mattered after Obama), but he’s a great American and a national treasure.

You *KNOW* DC is absolutely seething at there being so much as a POSSIBILITY of them being publicly called out, and/or corrected on this stuff.

Lieu is a Red nutcase. Needs a lot of investigating into his life.

When you are sworn in before a court of law, you swear to “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”. Those are well-chosen words. You can easily convey non-truths when you fail to include “the WHOLE truth, and NOTHING BUT the truth.

This is the essence of most of the media lies. Often, what they convey is accurate, but failing to convey the context and details, they convey, instead, lies.

Elon Musk Fact Checks U.S. propaganda it’s why the MSM is gunning for him fear of the truth getting out.

Truth in the MSM disappears faster than a Biden promise.
