Failed Fact Checks

- 2018-08-14 Opinion | Did Pelosi Just Push Dems To Lie To Voters? - originally titled «Pelosi Sinks to New Low, Tells Dems: If You Have to Lie to Voters to Win, Do It.”», which is false
- TruePundit (h/t) repeats the lie: «Pelosi then shifted her attention to the upcoming midterm elections and essentially told the members of her party to “do whatever you have to do” to get elected, even if that means lying to their constituents to tell them what they want to hear.»
