Everything she does is labeled by her as "the work". She knows nothing about work!

[nunyabidnis]

Will she talk with the National White Journalists Association? Oh, wait, nevermind.

[socrates]

The first one isn't misleading it's just pure false stop being soft on her

[barbaracox]

And not enough of her lies during the debate

[jacoblalomia]

Every time Kamala speaks I feel like I'm losing brain cells.

[hottakeswithpancakes]

we need more real facts checks like this on Kamala.

[simbaline]

She is a big no vote. The unemployment went downhill when Bden and Harris took office.

[Moofasa]

the first wasn't misleading it was a flat out lie

[josina]

So, someone who has never started a business, ever, believes the solution to inflation, is starting a business? In addition, she wants to tell these budding business owners that they will have a price limit on their products and services because we don't need them getting rich off of ya'll. 👋

The unemployment that was caused by a shut down!?

[GenerationXT]

No - you're misleading,
Harris clearly made the claim unemployment was at its worst since the great depression WHEN THEY CAME TO OFFICE, not during Trump's presidency when it spiked during COVID. So the time context she uses here makes the claim completely false.

Cnn didn't even post the interview

[randmiller]

I'll take "misleading" and "needs context" over "blatant, flaming lie with no connection to reality" any day.

[stopthelies]

Somebody needs to because she lies and lies and lies

[Cettywise]

... now lets see Trumps fact check 😂😂😂

[SmifLaly]

Respectfully... This "FACT" check is a reach, to show you're non biased.

Y'all are actually playing semantics on the first one. Kamala Harris said "DURING" (keyword), words have meaning.

Siri... what's the definition of DURING - at a particular point in the course of.

If you go on a week long vacation and head to the beach for the weekend, Saturday you drown. Did you 💀 on the weekend or DURING vacation?

Both answers are correct although the "weekend" is more technically accurate.

She said DURING, this video itself AGREED that at one point unemployment reached record lows DURING the pandemic. Didn't Joe Biden take office while STILL In the pandemic?

EXACTLY. You're being technical about what she said. Her answer is equivalent to saying it's 3 o'clock when it's TECHNICALLY 2:54.

[scottygautier]

Ahh i needed huge institutions to tell me whats a lie because i cant do research for myselfff

[ReaperODumbacraps-juet]

VERIFY, may I suggest you send this video to every MSM propagandist network to remind them what real journalism looks like? I'm not saying they'll be smart enough to figure it out and follow suit, but they do deserve to have their noses rubbed in it.
