SURPRISE! PolitiFact Finally Tags a Dem ‘False,’ & Trump ‘Mostly True’
PolitiFact issued its first “false” rating of a Democrat in 2026 only after months of zero negative rulings, highlighting a long drought in holding the left accountable.

The disparity reinforces criticism that fact checking has leaned heavily against Republicans for years, with past data showing far more negative ratings for GOP figures.
