Yesterday there was a fact-check-a-palooza!

Kessler called it an “incendiary claim”:Glenn Kessler

Eventually Twitter’s Community Notes came along to fact-check the fact-checker:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, the largest individual donation it received in the 2022 election cycle, days after it endorsed Bragg for district attorney and pledged more than $1 million in spending to support his candidacy.

Musk has been fun to watch. He’s clearly getting his money’s worth with Twitter, just being able to have fun with it. His fun budget is a little different from yours and mine.

Kessler's a creepy totalitarian - bet he wishes he could go into a Christian school and shoot up the children. Hate like his is bottomless.

Isn’t Dan Bongino a part owner of Parler and/or Rumble?

He was certainly invested in Parler, not sure now. He often says he has a financial interest in Rumble.

Kessler, mangling reason. At least he didn’t get caught completely making things up...again.
