I’ve updated the comments for this article.
Kamala Harris claims fact checked. Her lies exposed.
The BBC did a fact check on what Harris has been saying. And of course, her lies were sugar coated, but you can see that she wasn’t being truthful.
CLAIM: “Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare.”
VERDICT: This is misleading. In this campaign, Mr. Trump has said repeatedly he would not do this.
“I will not cut 1 cent from Social Security or Medicare,” Mr. Trump said at a rally on 5 August.
And in his 20 point policy platform, one of the pledges is: “Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts.”
Is inflation down?
CLAIM: “Inflation is down under 3%.”
VERDICT: That figure is correct, but some context is needed here. Inflation is down from a peak of 9.1% under the Biden administration and it is higher than when Mr. Trump left office.
When President Biden took office in January 2021, inflation was 1.4% but it rose significantly during the first two years of his administration. While the Biden administration had limited control over these external factors, some economists say that their 2021 American Rescue Plan, worth $1.9tn (£1.5tn), also contributed to rising prices.
