#Trump repeats false claim that 'nobody was killed' during Capitol #Insurrection he incited

During a campaign event today in Howell, Michigan, Trump repeated the #lie that no one died on #Jan6, 2021, during the Capitol #siege by his supporters.

Trump attempted to compare the #Jan6 insurrection w/the racial justice protests that took place across the country in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020.

Pro-#Trump group attacks #Harris for murder that took place 14 yrs ago

Preserve America #PAC is a pro-Trump group, largely funded by #billionaire #MiriamAdelson, that expects to spend $100 million in this election cycle. This ad, which comes in 30-sec & 60-sec versions, links VP #KamalaHarris, to the murder of a teenager nearly 14 yrs ago.

Harris at the time was the DA for San Francisco. The murder took place in Texas.

Vice President #Harris on debating #Trump:

"He plays from this really old and tired playbook, right? There's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth, and we should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruth." #TrumpLies

Trump campaigned on a pledge [🤔] to fight #antisemitism.

"Antisemitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society," Trump said in 2024.

However, …antisemitism…found a place within his administration.

NPR has identified 3 Trump ofcls w/close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a "Nazi sympathizer," & a prominent #HolocaustDenier.

🤣…Though #Trump appears to support #AI, that does not mean AI supports him….

To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of 5 leading AI models — #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT; #Anthropic’s #Claude; X/ #xAI’s #Grok; #Google’s #Gemini; & #Perplexity — to verify Trump’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions.…

AI discredited ALL the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking him with startling accuracy & objective rigor.
