"Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been called out by fact-checkers at a steady clip since her upset primary win last year over then-Rep. Joe Crowley. She's apparently had enough. On Monday, she took aim at PolitiFact and The Washington Post fact-check unit for supposedly singling her out.
“Facts are facts, America. We should care about getting things right. Yet standards of who gets fact-checked, how often + why are unclear,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday. “This is where false equivalency + bias creeps in, allowing climate deniers to be put on par w/ scientists, for example.”
So AOC claims the fact-checkers are guilty of false equivalency & bias for pointing out her lies because they allow people who do not agree with her radical stance on Global Warming are allowed to say things she disagrees with?
She also suggested the reason she has been caught in so many lies, which she does not really deny are lies, is because the fact-checkers CHECK HER STATEMENTS FOR VALIDITY JUST AS OFTEN AS THEY CHECK THOSE OF THE WH AND PRESIDENT, that if they spent MORE of their time fact-checking the WH and President instead of checking them all equally she would be caught lying a whole lot less often!
"Her argument was not so much that the columns were wrong but that they should be scrutinizing the Trump White House more. Ocasio-Cortez complained that PolitiFact fact-checked her the “same” amount of times as White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders."
