American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten was hit with a Twitter fact-check on Monday after she claimed she tried to get students back into the classroom during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Weingarten made the hyperbolic claims in a tweet on Monday, acknowledging a post from Kyle Belokopisky — the executive director of the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers — on the supposed 3-year anniversary of planning to reopen New York schools.
“We worked together 3 years ago to get our kids back to in person schooling in a way that was safe for kids & staff. There was much unknown & much fear. NY helped w/needed science backed guidance & resources. Quite a contrast then from DeVos & DeSantis,” Weingarten wrote. Weingarten’s assertion that she fought to reopen schools beginning in May of 2020 was quickly called out by Twitter users, who used the social media platform’s Community Notes feature to rebut the union boss’s dubious claim.

Some ice hockey player needs to “check” her lyin’ butt. 🏒
SPJNK.

BTW, shouldn't the president of the American Federation of Teachers be a parent?
No matter how much Orwellian Newspeak you attempt to employ, Randi Weingarten shall always be a moronic, lying, skank.
