Here’s a fact check of four claims Biden made in his ABC interview on Afghanistan, at least two of them wrong: https://t.co/FnejQ8MrRJ — PolitiTweet.org

Re the terror threat, Biden said "we don't have military in Syria to make sure that we're going to be protected." US has 900 troops in Syria focused on ISIS. (WH told me he was talking about how US doesn't have troops in the northwest focused on al Qaeda.) https://t.co/FnejQ8MrRJ — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said Afghanistan nation-building "never made any sense to me." In fact, in the war's early years, he was a vocal advocate of nation-building there and in general. (And yes, views shift over time! The fact-check point is that "never" is incorrect.) https://t.co/cs4ohTf32f — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said on TV yesterday that Covid was "virtually gone" when he left office -- "it was over." I’m ignoring 99% of Trump nonsense these days, but that's bad. On his last day, there were more than 193K reported new cases, more than 4K new deaths, more than 120K hospitalized. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked by ABC about images of a plane packed with Afghans and of people falling from a plane, Biden interjected, wrongly, "That was 4 days ago, 5 days ago." They were taken less than 72 hours ago. (Pressed, he said he'd thought "we have to gain control of this," move faster.) — PolitiTweet.org

Biden and his team keep saying the Afghan military was “300,000” strong before its collapse. That’s a long-cited figure the Biden administration didn’t invent — but experts say the figure was always inflated: https://t.co/QGqcuOYjWH — PolitiTweet.org

After more than 13 hours, Cornyn's team has deleted the tweet that falsely said the US has 30,000 troops in Taiwan. https://t.co/i2KSKPxy89 — PolitiTweet.org

Chinese state media is having some fun with Cornyn’s tweet. https://t.co/mcP8JKAVbb — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Cornyn has caused a bit of an incident with this false Taiwan figure. Pentagon data says the US recently had *30* active duty personnel in Taiwan, not “30,000.” Not clear if Cornyn mistakenly added the 000 or mistakenly pulled from a Wiki page about the situation decades ago. https://t.co/GBtu4BlcD9 — PolitiTweet.org

I can't definitively say "Dallas Justice Now," the entity claiming to be behind the letters to white parents, is a hoax. I can say the experience of looking into it started weird and got weirder, and that it won't take even basic steps to show it's legit: https://t.co/hMkFYio0tm — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Because local journalists are good and important: Dallas journalists did a bunch of reporting on this before I finished mine. They include @stevanzetti and @timmytyper, who are mentioned in the story. Some local residents and amateur web sleuths also did some useful digging. — PolitiTweet.org

An odd link to a GOP firm. A now-offline Facebook page. A spokeswoman unwilling to prove she exists. I looked into "Dallas Justice Now," the supposed entity that got right-wing coverage for pressuring white people to not send their kids to top colleges: https://t.co/7J6cBb7t2g — PolitiTweet.org
