Fact-checking the fact checkers who aren’t up to the task:
“Together, a 20% across-the-board tariff with a 60% tariff on Chinese-made goods would amount to about a $3,900 annual tax increase for a middle-income family, according to the Center for American Progress Action Fund a liberal think tank.”
CNN doesn’t identify the other two think tanks as conservative. Thanks, CNN for exposing your bias.
It gets worse…

“Harris did not make her position on fracking clear during her only debate in 2020”
Pure bullshit. Harris in 2020: Joe Biden will not end fracking. He has been very clear about that.
They ran as a team. I’m guessing CNN didn’t read the article they referenced. MIKE PENCE said she and Biden would ban fracking. She said that was not true.
How the fuck do you get more clear than that?
It is mentioned ten times and nine of them were Pence attacking Harris lying about what Harris would do.
Partner woke up so time for breakfast! I’ll let y’all go through and add to this.
CNN did a shitty job fact checking.
Oh, one last one:
“Former President Donald Trump delivered more than 30 false claims”
What? Are you too lazy to count all of them? Do repeated lies count as one or two lies?
How about trans operations in prison? Or are you pretending Trump didn’t say that?
Sane washing is so ugly.
@feloneouscat
Same thing politifact did, she said “some economists have said” and they Calle sit “half true” cuz she didn’t mention that other economists had estimated lower, total nonsense. They’re all in the tank 🤷♂️

“ Study after study, including one from the federal government’s bipartisan US International Trade Commission, have found that Americans have borne almost the entire cost of Trump’s tariffs on Chinese product“
There IS NO ALMOST.
The US cannot tax foreign countries. Period. By definition a tariff is imposed on goods sold in the US.
