We fact-checked President Donald Trump's nomination speech on the final night of the Republican National Convention. bit.ly/34GLt59 Image
This is Mostly False. Biden’s policy platform backs several forms of school choice, including nonprofit charter schools, public magnet schools and choice within school districts. bit.ly/3fI8xDA Image
False. Multiple independent investigations found no influence by the Obama administration over the FBI investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. bit.ly/3aMUDOS Image
This is a False interpretation of Biden’s proposal to reinstate an Obama administration rule change related to discrimination in housing. bit.ly/2D2e3To Image
The $2.5 trillion comes from the total defense budgets for the last four fiscal years. Experts say most weapons are the same as before, and there is more continuity than change in defense policy from President Barack Obama to Trump. Mostly False: bit.ly/2EyK5XO Image

We don’t use the word “lie” lightly at PolitiFact. Our Lie of the Year looks back at the most significant falsehood that tried to undermine truth in 2023.

The 2023 Lie of the Year goes to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign of conspiracy theories. (1/9) PolitiFact Lie of the Year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Campaign of Conspiracy Theories (Image of RFK Jr.'s face on a beige background, trophy with flames next to the PolitiFact logo)
Pundits and politicos have debated if Kennedy's presidential campaign will factor into the outcome of the 2024 election.

But what's clear is that Kennedy’s political following is built on a movement that seeks to legitimize conspiracy theories. (2/9) bit.ly/3tymIqH
As an independent candidate, Kennedy has made repeated false and debunked claims about vaccines and COVID-19. He aired conspiracy theories about the assassinations of his father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. (3/9) politifact.com/factchecks/202…

Donald Trump, who joined the 2024 presidential race tonight, repeated many false or misleading claims that we’ve already fact-checked:
His claim that he rebuilt the military: Mostly False.

The US achieved energy independence under Trump, only to be reversed by Biden? We rated a similar claim Mostly False this year. @PolitiFactWisc rated a similar claim Mostly False this year.

THREAD: We have been tracking Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ policy promises from his campaign in 2018. Here’s where his promises stand on the environment, teacher salaries, health care costs, and more: politifact.com/florida/promis… Image
When he ran for governor, Ron DeSantis pledged to protect and enhance Florida’s air quality. Although he didn't institute clean air policies immediately, metrics suggest air quality has improved. We rated this promise a Compromise. bit.ly/3FwWhpa
DeSantis said he’d advocate to broaden access to mental health and substance abuse treatment in Florida. He put money behind these initiatives and we rated this promise Kept. bit.ly/3zv4EO7

Trump sent a letter to the Jan. 6 committee saying 2020 was “rigged and stolen.” Trump’s own advisers added to the evidence that the election wasn’t stolen, including Attorney General Bill Barr who told Trump his statements were “bull----.”

Trump sent a letter to the Jan. 6 committee saying 2020 was “rigged and stolen.” Trump said even before the election that rigging would be the only way Dems would win. Pants on Fire! politifact.com/factchecks/202…
A conspiracy to rig an election would require thousands of people conspiring across multiple jurisdictions to commit felonies. There’s no evidence it happened. politifact.com/factchecks/202…

New: For decades, the word “grooming” has been associated with child sexual abuse.

Now, it has become used to imply members of the LGBTQ community deliberately prey on children by discussing sexual orientation and gender identity. politifact.com/article/2022/m…
Exposure to these topics “does not change the way people develop,” said the University of Minnesota’s Jenifer McGuire, who studies family relationships and gender identity and the health of transgender youth.
“It changes how they feel about how they develop,” McGuire said. “Accepting parents don’t change whether or not their kid is trans — they change whether or not their kid hates themselves and gets kicked out of the house for being trans. The kid’s transness is there regardless.”
