Statement: We're one of the seven nations in the world that allow abortion on demand at 20 weeks.
Speaker: lindsey graham
About the speaker: Lindsey Graham is a U.S. senator from South Carolina. He was a candidate for the Republican nominee for president in 2016.
Date: May 8, 2022
Location: national
Topics: abortion;families;women
Context: an interview on Fox News Sunday
Fact-check justification: Graham said that the U.S. is one of "seven nations in the world that allow abortion on demand at 20 weeks." This is based on a 2014 study from a center that opposes abortion rights; the study highlighted countries that allow abortions at 20 weeks or later in a pregnancy and whose laws did not spell out under what circumstances abortions are permitted. Since that study, five additional countries now meet those criteria. And beyond that, there are more than 20 countries with flexible frameworks that allow abortions at 20 weeks or later. Graham’s statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details and context. We rate his  . RELATED: Fact-checking 5 claims in the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade

Context: a speech at the Democratic National Convention
Fact-check justification: Biden said that America has the most productive workers in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development tracks how much value comes out of each hour worked in the world’s higher income nations. According to its data, Luxembourg and Norway have more productive workers than America. That ranking has been in place since 2010. Third is not first. But to place in the top three out of the world’s 47 most wealthy nations is still an achievement. Biden is  on the details, but the general point is correct. We rate this  .

Context: a TV interview
Fact-check justification: He replied by e-mail that while he checked the populations of Austin and Alaska, he also "should have checked the mayor's duration in office versus Palin's. I stand corrected." In the spirit of his broadcasted Palin dig, Begala added: "So in another year and a half let's run the mayor for prez." No comment. His statement is .

Speaker: russ feingold
About the speaker: Russ Feingold served as a Democratic U.S. Senator representing Wisconsin from 1992 until 2010, when he was defeated for re-election. An attorney, he previously served 10 years in the Wisconsin Legislature. Following his Senate defeat, he founded Progressives United, which says it mission is to "stand up to the exploding corporate influence in our political system by organizing and amplifying the voices of those who believe that corporations have too much power." Feingold is running against U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, the man who defeated him, in the 2016 election.

Topics: jobs;foreign policy;trade
Context: a TV ad
Fact-check justification: Our rating Citing Johnson’s votes for free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, Feingold says Ron Johnson "helped companies ship jobs overseas." There are estimates that the largest of the three deals, with South Korea, resulted in a loss of jobs in the United States. But those estimates are disputed, largely because of how difficult it is to isolate one cause for changes in employment. Moreover, the job-loss estimates do not state that any U.S. jobs were shipped overseas. Without  of the trade deals helping ship jobs overseas, we rate Feingold’s statement .
Statement: I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare.
Speaker: donald trump
About the speaker: Donald Trump is the former president of the United States. He was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov. 8, 2016.  He has been a real estate developer, entrepreneur and host of the NBC reality show, "The Apprentice." Trump's statements were awarded PolitiFact's 2015, 2017 and 2019 Lie of the Year. In November 2022, he announced he would run for president in 2024.
Date: January 13, 2020
Topics: health care;health check
Context: a tweet
Fact-check justification: Trump tweeted that he "was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare." The president had nothing to do with the ban on health insurance plans discriminating against people with preexisting conditions. This consumer protection is a core part of the health care law that became law during the Obama presidency. Trump has expressly supported the repeal of this law without offering a replacement that would keep the protection intact.   And to this day, his administration is arguing in court that the law – including this provision – should be undone. The president’s tweet is not only untrue, but it misrepresents his administration’s efforts to repeal the health care law without offering any replacement that might maintain its core protections.

Context: a post
Fact-check justification: A Facebook post claimed that more people were killed by hands, fists and feet in 2020 than by rifles.  FBI data does confirm that statistic. But the data source is limited, and the stat alone doesn’t tell the full story of the role firearms of all kinds play in homicides.  We rate this .

Statement: What is the maximum number of students allowed in your classroom? ... 30 or more!
Speaker: vote no on 8
About the speaker: The Vote NO on 8 group is urging Florida residents to vote against Amendment 8, the class size amendment.
Date: October 18, 2010
Location: florida
Topics: children;education;florida amendments
Context: a campaign mailer
Fact-check justification: Yes, there will be more than 30 students in non-core classes -- but that's the case today. And the number "30" only applies to 9th through 12th grades -- the numbers are lower for younger children. But as the Vote NO group points out, districts across the state are experimenting with co-teaching this year that allows them to put two educators in a room and therefore more students than the caps. If they're doing that now, they could continue that practice if Amendment 8 passes. But all that is a lot of omitted context and clarification, so we rate this  .
Statement: Adjusted for inflation, over the last 25 years teachers have made a $29 increase in their salary.
Speaker: miguel cardona
About the speaker: Miguel Cardona was nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as secrerary of education and was confirmed by the Senate. Previously, he served as commissioner of education in Connecticut. Earlier in his career, he worked as a teacher and principal in Meriden, Conn.
Date: August 21, 2022
Topics: education;workers
Context: an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press"
Fact-check justification: Cardona said, "Adjusted for inflation, over the last 25 years teachers have made a $29 increase in their salary." While a listener may assume that this means a $29 increase over the course of the year, this is actually $29 over the course of a week. The gains over 52 weeks amount to $1,508 (although many teachers are not paid over the summer). Still, that’s not a lot of a gain over 25 years, and it trails the gains seen by workers overall by a modest amount and trails the gains seen by college-educated workers by even more. We rate the statement .
Statement: Dems Pass Bill to Vaccinate Children Without Parental Knowledge, Consent.
Speaker: viral image
About the speaker: Graphics, pictures and charts shared on social media give chain emails a run for their money when it comes to spreading too-good-to-be-true claims all over the Internet. A common form is is the "Internet macro," which uses an easily recognized and repurposed image (called a meme) wth superimposed text to make a funny but political argument. Sometimes these images are passed across social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit so widely that the original source is nearly impossible to determine.
Date: January 3, 2021
Topics: children;public health;facebook fact-checks
Context: a Facebook post
Fact-check justification: A Facebook post shares an article screenshot that features Dr. Anthony Fauci and says "D.C. Passes Bill to Immunize Children Without Parental Knowledge, Consent." The city of Washington, D.C., passed a bill that allows minors 11 and older to get certain government-recommended vaccinations without their parent’s consent. No such law exists at the federal level. And Fauci had nothing to do with the legislation. Also, the headline obscures that children would first have to be willing to receive the vaccination and that a doctor would have to agree they are capable of making that decision.  We define  as a statement that is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context. That fits here.

She is formerly a U.S. senator from New York, first elected in 2000. She was a candidate for president in 2008. She previously served as first lady when her husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms as president. She was born in Chicago in 1947, graduated from Wellesley College and earned a law degree at Yale Law School. She and her husband have one daughter.

Context: a speech by husband Bill Clinton at a Concord, N.H. rally
Fact-check justification: "Hillary is known by virtually everyone in the U.S. and pretty well known abroad." Carl Sferrazza Anthony, the author of several books on first ladies and the consulting historian for the National First Ladies Library in Canton, Ohio, declared Clinton "the most traveled First Lady in history." While many of her trips were virtually ignored by the U.S. media, the international press covered them heavily, and she earned kudos abroad for her support of micro loans, women's rights, healthcare, democracy and other issues, Anthony said. Still, roughly four in 10 of those polled by Angus Reid were undecided about who they'd prefer to inhabit the White House, said Mario Canseco of Angus Reid. "At this early stage of the campaign, the media in Europe is not yet paying attention to the U.S. presidential race," he said.

Context: an Instagram post
Fact-check justification: An Instagram post claimed that a Pfizer executive suddenly "admitted" that its COVID-19 vaccine had not been tested for preventing transmission before it went to market. But this is not a revelation. Pfizer’s clinical trial was always intended to study whether the vaccine prevented recipients from getting symptomatic COVID-19 and whether it prevented severe disease. Pfizer did not  to have data about transmission of the virus to others. We rate this  . Clarification : This story was updated Oct. 17 to make clear the Pfizer vaccine trial studied whether the vaccine prevented symptomatic and severe COVID-19, not infection. The rating is unchanged.

Fact-check justification: Buckley said "Two-thirds of Granite Staters oppose the Tea Party" and its agenda on labor unions. But UNH polls show the opposition to the tea party is about 35 percent, about half as much as Buckley says.

Fact-check justification: But this is a far cry from door-to-door service. A wheelchair-bound senior with no car could not apply for an ID from her living room couch, as Gingrey’s  suggested. A civic group would have to request the van travel to a nearby civic center or courthouse, and an individual would have to trek there to get one.

Context: the Austin American-Statesman
Fact-check justification: Stanford said Davis is "the most popular politician in Texas." Based on a single summer 2013 survey taken shortly after the senator’s star-making filibuster, a polling firm called her "best-liked" of 10 politicians in Texas. But the poll’s results also suggested she would lose to Perry and Abbott in one-on-one gubernatorial face-offs, which raises red flags about Stanford’s statement. Also, the lack of other firm indicators -- perhaps understandable considering Davis has not yet said she’s running for governor -- leaves this  on shaky ground.

Topics: pensions
Context: remarks on first day of session
Fact-check justification: Weatherford uses an accurate number to describe the cost of addressing the pension fund’s unfunded actuarial liability -- based on current estimates. But he loses points for holding this figure up as how much the state will affirmatively pay each year for the next 28 years. That’s based on predictions that could shift, for better or worse, depending in large part due to market performance. On that note, Weatherford’s comments on the need for big reform make no mention of the fact that the pension fund was in a surplus for the better part of the 21st century. The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context. That’s our definition of .

Context: a TV ad
Fact-check justification: Let's revisit the  in the ad from the group attacking Gimenez. "Carlos Alvarez drove a fancy European car at taxpayer expense. Carlos Gimenez also drove a fancy European car at taxpayer expense." No one disputes that Alvarez and Gimenez both drove luxury cars paid for by taxpayers. But the ad omits several key facts: • Taxpayer-funded car deals for elected officials are common. The perk was available to all the Miami-Dade county commissioners. Even Gimenez's opponent Robaina was given cars by the city to drive while he was mayor of Hialeah. While the cars driven by Robaina, a Chevy Tahoe and a Chevy Suburban aren't "fancy European" cars, they are nice cars. • Alvarez and Gimenez did not have identical car deals . Alvarez went shopping for a BMW on the county dime even though he already had access to two Chevys and two police officers to drive him. When Gimenez left the county he said he took over the lease -- unlike Alvarez who left the county on the hook. • Comparing the car allowances of Gimenez and Alvarez without looking at other pieces of their compensation package provides an incomplete picture of two different jobs . Alvarez earned about 39 times more than Gimenez in salary -- though to be fair Alvarez likely logged many more hours. It's  that both Alvarez and Gimenez used their county-paid car allowances to drive luxury cars -- either one could have refused the benefit or not used it in full. But the -O-Meter isn't about merely evaluating whether a statement is technically  -- context and telling the full story matters. This ad fails to do that. We rate the  .
