“$1.9 billion to recently-created decarbonization of homes committee, headed up, and we know she’s involved, just at the last moment the money was passed over, by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?”
— President Donald Trump, in an address to a joint session of Congress, March 4
We fact-checked 26 claims in Trump’s address on Tuesday night, but this one required more research to nail down. From Trump’s phrasing, it sounds like Stacey Abrams somehow got her hands on nearly $2 billion at the “last moment.” Abrams, of course, helped ensure Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia by registering more than 800,000 voters, many people of color, in the state, so he has a particular animus toward the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives. The president mentioned her as he read a long list of (mostly bogus) claims of government “scams.”
Is Trump’s claim true? No, not at all. A Biden green-energy program has been the subject of feverish reporting in the right-wing media, spurred by Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency. But Abrams’s role has been vastly overblown.....
If Zeldin had bothered to read the Power Forward Communities grant application on the EPA website, he would have seen this section: “We bring proven reach, scale, and organizational experience across markets and supply chains, technical assistance, and lending. We have collectively deployed or invested over $100 billion in community-based housing, health, environmental, and economic development initiatives and created or preserved over 1.4 million affordable housing units.”
One hundred billion dollars is significantly more than $100.

when’crats say the didn’t get a penny you just know it was FAR more than a penny.
Fact Checker: That's a false claim because ... Abrams’s role has been vastly overblown.....
But she is involved. So Trump was right.
LOL Glenn Kessler LOL
Gaslight Media stooge Glenn Kessler weighs in.
Did or did not?
Receive money from this organization that is spending tax payer money?
Audit stacey she appears to be above her mean.
Exactly! WaPo fact checker’s fact check proven false.
“and we know she’s involved, “
“role”
unfact chack
The Washington Post. Why even bother?
If her organization was given $1.9 billion and she got 0.25% of that or 1/4 of 1% she would have received $4,750,000! That percentage could have easily been hidden. Hey Washington Compost, undeniably prove to us she did not receive that or more from us taxpayers. Otherwise your comments that she did not are without evidence:
They need to be audited. If there is any irregularities people need to go to jail. This goes for any grants that went out the last 4 years.
“””””Abrams, of course, helped ensure Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia by registering more than 800,000 voters, many people of color, in the state, so he has a particular animus toward the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives.”””””
They give us a little background but threw in a senseless wording that doesn’t fit, the media needs to stop with this propaganda seed planting into every news story-—””, many people of color, “”-—.
“Stacey Abrams has not received a penny of this EPA grant.
“It was never the plan for her to receive any money from this grant,”
Thank you for identifying the half truth of the article.
As shown by the serpent in the garden of Eden with the original lie, the best lies are 90% true.
Fact check is total BS.
This is a new entity. The entity did no business in the past.
While the experience and accomplishments of board members are important, it is not an asset of the new organization.

Trump didn’t say specifically she headed it up, he talks with numerous pauses or fragments, as he switches thoughts and some times goes back to the first thought again without making it obvious at first.
Media gets things Trump says wrong because they haven’t taken time to get to know him, otherwise they would understand and probably like him. or at least agree with him more.
No one cares about the fact checcks anymore except maybe 25 percent of the country...and they are dyed in the wool leftists anyway.
They wore out the “fact check” and people see through their charades
Or else harris would be president.
They have set up a format that they all use to hide their tracks and they share this same tactic. We see it and is evident with the Biden’s barisma and other entities that are used to hide money and transfer funds to fictitious companies and accounts to make it difficult to track. For Trump to mention her name during the speech, he knows more than glen kesler and the rest of the rats feeding from the trough
