Claim: Congress party supporters during their rally in North Karnataka have waved Pakistan flag along with the Indian flag (FACEBOOK POST, 2019-03-26)
Evidence (2024-01-10): Of course, these kinds of double standards are not solely the purview of global superpowers. Pakistan has supported the United Nations high commissioner for human rights’ monitoring of abuses in Muslim-majority Kashmir, but owing to its close relationship with China, has turned its back on possible crimes against humanity against Uyghur and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang. Pakistan’s hypocrisy is especially glaring given its coordinator role of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. [...] This is the overarching lesson of our ever-more disrupted world: we need to reimagine how power in the world is exercised, and that all governments not only have the opportunity but the responsibility to take action to protect human rights within and beyond their borders.

Evidence (2024-08-22): During his 2024 presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly proposed wide-ranging tariffs on imported goods. The specific projected dollar impact on consumers varies. Two estimates we found broadly support Harris’ $4,000 figure; two others show a smaller — though still significant — impact.

Evidence (2024-08-23): She’s referring to Trump’s plan to impose "universal baseline tariffs" on foreign imports. Whether it will cost middle-income families that much is speculative, in part because Trump has been inconsistent and opaque about what exactly he is proposing. [...] That prompted the Center for American Progress Action Fund estimate of $3,900, which is based on 20 percent. Based on Trump’s initial 10 percent tariff suggestion, the group had previously put the cost to "a typical family" at $2,500 per year. Other nonpartisan groups have come in with lower estimates. Based on a 10 percent worldwide tariff and a 60 percent tax on imported Chinese goods, the Tax Policy Center estimated a more modest $1,350 cost to middle-income households. Using those same parameters, an analysis from the Peterson Institute for International Economics concluded Trump’s proposed tariffs would cost a typical middle-income household about $1,700 in increased expenses each year. The Tax Foundation estimates such tariffs would decrease the incomes of those in the middle by 1.5 percent.

Evidence (2024-08-22): Harris is the second woman to become a major-party presidential nominee, the second Black nominee and the first Asian. In a 37-minute speech — roughly one-third the length of former President Donald Trump’s at the Republican National Convention in July — Harris retold the story of her upbringing in a "beautiful working-class neighborhood" in San Francisco’s East Bay. She described being a child of divorce who was raised with the help of people, "none of them family by blood, and all of them family by love." [...] Harris’ figure about how much it will cost families is higher than most estimates. A more recent estimate, from the liberal group the Center for American Progress Action, came up with a $3,900 figure but that was based on the high end of a 10% to 20% tariff range that Trump on one occasion speculated about.

Evidence (2024-07-18): As he’s campaigned to win back the White House, former President Donald Trump has made a lot of big promises. [...] He would pursue an aggressive trade policy, this time including a 10% tariff on foreign goods. Critics have said this would spike inflation after Trump has hammered Biden over elevated prices. Trump said he would also prevent U.S. investments in Chinese companies; Trump has often singled out China as an economic adversary.

Evidence (2024-10-03): A new filing by special counsel Jack Smith in the case he has brought against Donald Trump for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election provides greater detail and support for Smith’s argument that Trump, while president, committed illegal acts to reverse his 2020 election loss. [...] In August 2023, a federal grand jury indicted Trump on four counts of conduct related to conspiring to overturn the November 2020 presidential election. [...] Fear of political threat is of particular concern for the president. As the court explained in the Trump case, without immunity, "the President would be chilled from taking the ‘bold and unhesitating action’" required of the office.

Evidence (2024-09-10): During a Sept. 2 campaign event in Pittsburgh, 2024 Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris claimed 2024 Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump wants to impose a national sales tax on everyday products, which would cost the typical American family almost $4,000 a year.

"He wants to impose, what in effect, would be a national sales tax. I call it the Trump national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities that would cost a typical American family, the economists have said this, almost $4,000 a year," Harris said.

Evidence (2024-09-17): Vice President Kamala Harris is pushing back on former President Donald Trump’s proposal for a 10%-20% tariff on imported goods. At the Democratic National Convention, Harris said his policy would cost U.S. consumers a hefty price tag. "He intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax — call it a Trump tax — that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year," the Vice President stated. [...] Trump has been forthcoming about increasing tariffs, which he has said will help save American jobs and factories. However, it could backfire for consumers. The Center for American Progress released a report stating a 20% tariff on imports could boost Americans’ costs by $3,900 per year, while the National Taxpayers Union concluded Trump’s original suggestion of a 10 percent tariff might cost households $3,942 per year.

Evidence (2024-08-22): Harris on Trump raising prices for families by $4,000 a year Harris claimed in her Thursday speech at the Democratic National Convention that Trump’s proposed policies would raise prices for American families. "He intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax, call it a ‘Trump Tax,’ that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year," she said. [...] Separate studies estimate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs would also raise prices for families, but by a lower amount. The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimated the new duties would cost the average middle-class household about $1,700 annually. And the Tax Policy Center said the impact could be $1,350 a year for middle-income households.

[...] The $4,000 figure is a familiar refrain in political contexts, hearkening back to the Trump administration’s claim that cutting the corporate tax rate in 2017 would raise the average household’s annual income by at least that amount. However, economists from the Joint Committee on Taxation and Federal Reserve found that that didn’t occur.

Harris took the stage to a roaring standing ovation and soon set her agenda in a rousing speech.Whether it was immigration, reproductive rights or foreign security, the vice president showcased a sharp contrast in policies to former President Donald Trump. Harris's speech was preceded by a who's who of leaders from both sides of the aisle who all made the case that she is the best person to be the nation's leader. Harris said, "As a part of his agenda, [Trump] and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion, and enact a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress.

Claim: Former President Donald Trump "intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax ... that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year." (Kamala Harris, 2024-08-22)
Evidence (2024-08-29): Vice President Kamala Harris, in making her case, said that the tariff plans Donald Trump is proposing will hurt the middle class. Here's what she said specifically: "he intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax, call it a Trump tax, that would raise prices on middle class families by almost $4,000 a year." Now the estimates vary, but how do you respond to that charge that Trump's tariffs would hurt the middle class? [...] Second, the cost figures Harris was referring to are based on the 10-20% universal baseline tariffs proposed by Trump. The $4,000 figure could be derived from the following studies: "The Center for American Progress released a report concluding that costs for American families would increase by $3,900 per year if Trump were to impose a blanket 20 percent tariff on imports, while the National Taxpayers Union estimated in February that Trump’s original suggestion of a 10 percent tariff would cost households $3,942 per year." In his response, Vance focused mainly on China, which ignores the point that Harris was making about the universal tariffs, and therefore his comments don't add much to the discussion of Trump's proposal to impose these tariffs. [...] And as a general point, I think people would be shocked at the price rises that would result from Trump's recent tariff proposals, and that would put an end to the debate about tariffs. But I hope we don't have to actually experience this to learn that lesson.

Evidence (2024-08-27): Here’s a look at recent tax-related happenings on the Hill, including Vice President Kamala Harris addressing former President Donald Trump’s tariff platform. [...] According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, during Trump’s presidency tariffs were imposed on products valued around $380 billion.1 The tariffs have been largely left intact by the Biden administration and even increased by $18 billion on Chinese imports. The Tax Foundation has called the now bipartisan policy "one of the largest tax increases in decades." While Harris did not address the Trump-Biden tariff status quo, she seems to be against Trump’s latest proposals to impose a universal tariff of at least 10% and increase tariffs on Chinese goods to at least 60%. "[Trump] intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax—call it, a Trump tax—that would raise prices on middle class families by almost $4,000 a year," Harris said after accepting the nomination.

Evidence (2024-08-26): CLAIM: Harris said Trump "intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax— call it a Trump tax — that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year." - This figure comes from an estimate by the progressive Center for American Progress Action Fund, which calculated the cost of proposed tariffs on imported goods. The analysis is dense. The CAP Action Fund went through the goods the U.S. Census says we're projected to import in 2025, then calculated what the tariff on them would be and divided that by the number of American households. That figure was then adjusted for government estimates on how much middle-income households spend overall relative to other consumers. The left-leaning group projects this will hit lower- and middle-income households harder, since they spend a larger percentage of their income on goods than high-income households do. [...] "At the end of the day this is all about the will of the people," Trump added. "You must follow your heart or — in many cases — your religion, or your faith. Do what's right for your family. Do what's right for yourself. Do what's right for your children. Do what's right for our country and vote, so important to vote.

Evidence (2024-09-09): Trump has pitched an across-the-board tariff of 10% to 20%, plus a 60% levy on goods from China. Harris has said Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign goods would amount to a national sales tax that would raise prices "on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year." The projected dollar impact on consumers varies, so this rates Half True. Two estimates generally support Harris’ $4,000 figure; two show a smaller impact. READ MORE: Americans view Harris as more honest and disciplined, slightly favor Trump on economy and immigration, AP-NORC poll finds Trump has said Harris wants to quadruple Americans’ taxes, which is also False. Harris’ tax plan, which is based on Biden’s, proposes a tax increase of about 7% over the next decade, which is far lower than the 300% increase that Trump claimed. The top 1% of taxpayers, a level that starts at just under $1 million a year in income, would bear about 83% of the proposed Biden tax increase. Taxpayers earning up to $60,400 would see their yearly taxes decline on average, and taxpayers earning $60,400 to $107,300 would see an annual increase of $20 on average.
