PolitiFact, the Poynter Institute’s liberal-tilting “independent fact-checking” website, has given White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt a third fact-check within her first two months at the podium — two False ratings and one Half True. On March 13, Lou Jacobson threw a False flag for Leavitt fighting with AP reporter Josh Boak, where she claimed “Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.”
The first two fact checks came on January 28.
Biden’s first press secretary Jen Psaki has two — on False and one True. Psaki drew her first fact check on November 18, 2021 — almost ten months into her tenure. She was never tagged while she was State Department Press Secretary under John Kerry in the Obama years, and hasn’t been tagged for anything she’s said as an MSNBC host.
We can guess that Leavitt will soon surpass the other Biden press…
