The Marshall Project [1] has unleashed the fact-check hounds on Donald Trump, dissecting over 12,000 of his immigration-related statements. That’s right – every word, every “migrant criminal” and “largest invasion” comment got the magnifying glass treatment.
They even went as far as to dig up claims Trump’s made 500 times or more – and surprise, they called them all “untrue” or “deeply misleading.” In order to reach their conclusion, they went through over 350K Trump statements. It’s impressive dedication, even if their conclusions were predictable.
Trump’s words get a forensic exam. Meanwhile, where’s Kamala’s McFile?
But here’s the kicker: while Left-wing outlets are chasing down every Trump tale with military precision, there’s zero curiosity about Kamala Harris’s supposed stint at McDonald’s.
It’s a story that keeps popping up online, but no one on the Left is fact-checking that golden-arch chapter of her life. Is it because fast food is beneath the fact-check crowd or is there something more sinister at play? The world may never know, because apparently, Left-wing journalism stops at the drive-thru.
Selective scrutiny is the special sauce.
It’s a classic case of media priorities. When Trump talks, it’s all hands on deck, but when it comes to Democratic figures, the fact-checkers take a leisurely lunch break.
Hold the fries, keep the bias.
While Trump’s immigration claims deserve scrutiny, the same level of curiosity would be nice elsewhere – like maybe clarifying if Harris can actually make a Big Mac with a side of fries. Until then, we’ll have to settle for half-baked investigations and a side of selective outrage.
