Context: a speech
Fact-check justification: Kaine said Trump is "against minimum wage." We would have had no issue if Kaine had said Trump opposes a federal minimum wage. But the senator’s statement lacks that specificity. Trump repeatedly has said that Washington should not dictate a national minimum wage and that the matter should be left entirely to the states. So we rate Kaine’s unqualified statement . https://www.sharethefacts.co/share/c1236a3a-7db8-4ef1-9efd-60fa907ce4db

Context: Senate floor speeches and during a news conference
Fact-check justification: Jack Reed repeatedly said that the Senate proposal to restore expanded unemployment benefits "is fully paid for." He didn't say it would be paid for in the future. He made it sound like it HAD been paid for, presumably through immediate savings or new taxes. You can't say "my house is paid for" when you've just taken out a 10-year loan from the bank to pay off your mortgage. If the unemployment insurance extension had passed, Congress wouldn't have given up the flat screen TV to pay for roof repairs. It would have bought both, and done it with a cash advance on a credit card that is already maxed beyond the ability to pay. Reed's statement may be technically accurate in the world of Washington budgeting. But for the rest of us -- at least those of us who can't print money, who know that 10-year plans can go awry, and who don't think something is paid for until the bill is actually, well, paid -- his statement contains only a small element of .

Statement: (Jeff) Atwater's busy helping his friends and wasting our tax dollars -- $48 million for a government building so lavish it's dubbed the 'Taj Mahal,' $100,000 for a golf musuem, and $110 million to build a private prison to help a big contributor.
Speaker: loranne ausley

Context: a TV ad
Fact-check justification: Ausley makes three claims about Atwater helping his friends and wasting taxpayer dollars. The $100,000 for the PGA golf museum was not included in the state budget. The only connections between Atwater and the 1st District Court of Appeals courthouse project and a 2,000-bed private prison are that Atwater voted on massive bills that included these projects and lots of other things. The ad makes it sound somehow like Atwater was spearheading or directing these projects, when there is zero  he was. We rate this  .
Statement: Every year since Gov. Walker and the Republicans have been in control of the Legislature we've created fewer jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Speaker: brett hulsey
About the speaker: Democrat Brett Hulsey of Madison, the owner of an energy and environmental consulting firm, was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly in 2010. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the Aug. 12, 2014 Democratic primary for governor.

Context: a radio interview
Fact-check justification: Our rating Hulsey says state employers have added fewer jobs every year since Walker and the Republicans took control of state government. His  is based on two years of calculations that don’t include the full calendar year, and a projection for the third year that doesn’t track with the figures he cites. Also, for two years, he uses data that’s been superceded by far more accurate data. Either way you cut it, the  is . We rate Hulsey’s  .
Statement: The 2010 DREAM Act failed despite "strong bipartisan support.
Speaker: janet napolitano
About the speaker: Janet Napolitano is the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, appointed by President Obama. Prior to that, she was the governor of Arizona.
Date: August 27, 2013
Location: national
Topics: immigration;bipartisanship
Context: a speech at the National Press Club
Fact-check justification: Napolitano said that the DREAM Act -- a law that would have allowed young people in the United States illegally to stay -- failed in Congress even though it had "strong bipartisan support." We looked up the vote and found that three Republican senators joined 52 other senators on the vote. The bill failed because it required 60 votes. Three Republican senators isn’t "strong" bipartisan support, though. In fact, it’s pretty minimal. The vote failed largely along partisan lines. Napolitano’s remarks clearly suggest otherwise. We rate it .
Statement: Many presidents don't get the chance to put a Supreme Court justice on.
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.

Fact-check justification: Trump said, "Many presidents don’t get the chance to put a Supreme Court justice on." Only four presidents out of 45 have failed to place a justice on the high court, which doesn’t come close to the description "many." In the past 150 years, only one president has missed a chance, Jimmy Carter. We rate the statement .
Statement: In Senate Bill 5, there is this new method of evaluating teachers. … You're also going to be rated on what the parents think of you and they can send questionnaires and surveys home to parents.
Speaker: tim grendell
About the speaker: State Senator Tim Grendell has represented Ohio’s 18th Senate District, which includes all of Lake and Geauga counties, and eastern Cuyahoga County, since 2004.  Prior to being elected to the Senate, Grendell served two terms as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives.
Date: April 18, 2011
Location: ohio
Topics: education;labor
Context: a forum on the state budget
Fact-check justification: The evaluations will include whether parents and students are satisfied with a teacher, "which may be measured by surveys, questionnaires, or other forms of soliciting feedback," the law reads. Teacher evaluations also will measure how the teacher works in the classroom, which can be gauged by classroom observations; how the teacher communicates with students, parents, colleagues and members of the community; and students’ test scores. Local school districts will have some discretion in deciding how to weight the different pieces of teacher evaluations, but they are expected to include each factor laid out under the new law. As Grendell pointed out at the budget forum, the law does call for parent questionnaires to gauge parent’s satisfaction. We rate the statement .
Statement: Today and every day, an estimated 14,000 Americans will lose their health insurance coverage.
Speaker: tom harkin
About the speaker: Tom Harkin is a U.S. Senator from Iowa.
Date: December 13, 2009
Location: national
Topics: health care;workers
Context: a Senate floor speech
Fact-check justification: When we made our initial assessment in July, we happened to look at a period of especially rapid job losses. That makes a difference because, under this model, the more the unemployment rate rises in a short period of time, the more Americans lose their insurance on a daily basis. As the rate of job losses has declined since July, the daily rate of Americans losing insurance has declined as well. If the number is now roughly 8,000 -- a number that's still nothing to sneeze at -- then Democrats should be saying it's roughly 8,000. So we rate Harkin's statement .
Statement: Says "93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks.
Speaker: rudy giuliani
About the speaker: Rudy Giuliani is the former mayor of New York City. He was born in Brooklyn in 1944 and previously served as a federal prosecutor, as well as an associate attorney general under President Reagan. He graduated from Manhattan College and earned a law degree from New York University Law School. He has been married since 2003 to Judith Nathan and was married twice before. He has two children, Andrew and Caroline. He withdrew from the presidential race on Jan. 30, 2008.
Date: November 23, 2014
Topics: crime;punditfact
Context: an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press"
Fact-check justification: Giuliani said that 93 percent of blacks are murdered by blacks. That’s in line with federal statistics. However, it actually tells us little about violence in black communities. The percentage of whites killed by whites is only about seven percentage points lower. The strong historical trend is that in a society with persistent pockets of segregation, most homicide occurs within each ethnic group. Giuliani’s  is accurate but needs clarification. We rate it .
Statement: 'Obamacare' puts the federal government between you and your doctor.
Speaker: mitt romney
About the speaker: Mitt Romney is a U.S. senator from Utah. He ran for president in 2012 as the Republican nominee, losing to incumbent President Barack Obama. Prior to that, Romney served one term as governor of Massachusetts, elected to the post in 2002. He was born in 1947 in Michigan, where his father was governor from 1963 to 1969. Romney graduated from Brigham Young University and received both a law degree and an MBA from Harvard University. Romney helped found the investment firm Bain Capital in 1984, which launched or rebuilt such companies as Staples and Dominos Pizza. Romney managed the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City from 1999-2002. He ran for president in 2008 but lost the Republican nomination. He and his wife, Ann, have five sons, Tagg, Craig, Matt, Ben and Josh.
Date: June 28, 2012
Location: national
Topics: health care
Context: prepared remarks
Fact-check justification: For three years, Republicans have insisted that the health care reform bill amounts to a government takeover of health care. Romney’s statement that the law puts government between you and your doctor is another iteration of that . The law does aim to improve the quality and efficiency of care. At some level, that would change what doctors do. Physicians are wary of change, and the way the law will work is complex. But we found no hard  to support the  that doctors would be forced to make bad decisions. In contrast, we found many provisions that support an open process geared toward providing better care. Primary care doctors seem most inclined to support the law, as do a large number of physician professional associations. Support for the law is weaker among specialists, who are more likely to question what it means for their compensation and more likely to face scrutiny for using high-cost tests and procedures. But that doesn’t mean the government is placing itself between doctors and patients. The law is complex, but it leaves intact the private sector delivery of health care. Overall, we found some concerns that government influence over the private insurance market will dictate doctor behavior. But statements like Romney’s overstate the level of government control in the law and ignore state flexibility in setting insurance standards. Romney’s campaign offered no  to back up this . We rule this statement .

About the speaker: Alan Grayson was initially elected to Congress in 2008, then defeated for re-election in 2010. He was elected again to Congress from a different district in 2012. He lost the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Florida in 2016.

Context: a fundraising email
Fact-check justification: Grayson said Murphy is one of "only three Democrats in the House today who voted" to create the Benghazi committee. Murphy did vote with six other Democrats to create the committee in May 2014 (four of those seven are no longer in the House). Grayson is trying to paint Murphy as a conservative in liberal’s clothing. Murphy says his vote was to help clear Clinton’s name. That’s a bit of context that Grayson should have included, so we rate his statement .

In that period, they found that of the people who became infected with salmonella due to baby poultry exposure, 49 percent, or 196 out of 400 people, reported snuggling and holding baby birds. Another 13 percent, or about 53, reported kissing baby birds.. That’s cause to sound the alarm. We rate the CDC warning .
Statement: Says the private sector in Texas created 1 million jobs over the past decade.
Speaker: rick perry
About the speaker: Rick Perry is the U.S. Energy Secretary and was governor of Texas from late December 2000 through 2014. He was re-elected in 2002, 2006 and 2010. He unsucessfully ran for president in 2012 and 2016.

Topics: jobs
Context: a television interview
Fact-check justification: Perry cited a figure for private-sector jobs that he's previously used to describe total employment gains. That could lead close followers of his campaign with the misimpression that nearly all the job gains were in the private sector. To the contrary, government jobs represented about 27 percent of the total. But even though Perry was off by 200,000, he was in the neighborhood on his million-jobs statement. We rate his statement .

Fact-check justification: Illinois Rising Action’s ad says "while voters were distracted, Pritzker gave huge pay raises to his politician buddies." The group was referencing the annual cost-of-living adjustments legislators are provided with automatically under state law. For most of the past decade, legislators have passed bills rejecting those raises. Because of a recent legal decision, lawmakers used a different maneuver to freeze pay this year in the budget Pritzker signed. Lawmakers have gotten no pay raise this year, and the governor made no moves designed to give them one. We rate this  .  — The statement is not accurate.

Fact-check justification: But the lines in the video are clearly taken out of context thanks to some heavy-handed editing. The actual point of Webster's 2009 speech was that husbands should love their wives. Maybe Webster thinks wives should submit to their husbands. But there's no  in this ad, especially Webster's own words, to support that allegation. We rate Grayson's  .
Statement: Newt Gingrich's immigration plan offers "a new doorway to amnesty.

Location: national
Topics: immigration
Context: a press conference
Fact-check justification: "Amnesty" has become a radioactive term in American politics, and Republicans in particular do not want their immigration policies described that way. Gingrich supports allowing illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for many years to apply for legal status. He’s said that process should look at each individual and whether they have "family, church and community ties." They would also have to pay a fine. What he describes sounds like a more restrictive process than the 1986 law supported by Reagan that allowed for widespread amnesty. Still, the word amnesty means simply forgiving groups of people who have broken the law. Most legal amnesties include some sort of process. Words matter, and under a more straightforward definition, Gingrich’s plan is clearly amnesty, though it may be limited in scope. Romney said that Gingrich's plan offers "a new doorway to amnesty," which suggests that Gingrich's plan allows for legalization without being the same as the older amnesty law. We rate Romney’s statement .

Fact-check justification: Portman was a little high on Ohio’s jobless rate for the BLS categories that include, in his words, "folks who have stopped looking for work," but he was in the ballpark. The U-5 rate puts it at 9.2 percent, and he said "over 10 percent." His figure was actually low for the broadest measure, but that includes people working part-time (less than 35 hours per week) for economic reasons. Those are important details that help to assess his  and give it context.. On the -O-Meter, his  rates as .

To be sure, the state landed in the bottom 10, along with numerous developing countries and no other U.S. states. But the methodology behind the report illustrates the flaws in using it to make sweeping comparisons.
