  • An image shared on Facebook purportedly shows a Fox News chyron about President Joe Biden announcing looting would be renamed justice shopping. Verdict: False There is no evidence Biden announced such a measure. The fake Fox News chyron originated from the show Real Time with Bill Maher as satire. Fact Check: The image appears to show a chyron from a Fox News broadcast that reads, Biden: Looting To Be Renamed ‘Justice Shopping.' Included in the supposed report is a photo of Biden and picture of a Target store seemingly being looted. There is no evidence Biden announced the renaming of looting to justice shopping. Searching for the phrase in the presidential actions , briefing transcripts , speeches and press releases available on the White House website yielded no instances of the president proposing a measure to that effect. Factba.se, which has a database of Biden’s public remarks, also doesn’t have any record of it. A search of the Fox News website did not yield any results for articles about Biden announcing the renaming of looting or a segment showing the chyron. The supposed Fox News chyron doesn’t appear on the video-clip editing service Grabien, either. The fake chyron originated from a segment on comedian Bill Maher’s show Real Time with Bill Maher . The segment, in which he criticizes some Fox News reporting and spoofs several chyrons, can be found on Maher’s verified Facebook page. (RELATED: Has No Democrats Condemned Recent Riots?) Would you like to see some of the ones they have for next week? Because it’s just getting worse, I mean, look at this one, Maher said , before presenting satirical chyrons such as Trump Border Wall To Be Melted Down For Giant Statue Of Colin Kaepernick and Dr. Fauci: Babies In The Womb Must Wear Masks. Biden has condemned looting as a presidential candidate and as president. In early June 2020, amid protests sparked by George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody, Biden said during a speech, There’s no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses, according to a video posted on YouTube by ABC News. After the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright, Biden said April 12 in remarks: In the meantime, I want to make it clear again: There is absolutely no justification – none – for looting, no justification for violence. Peaceful protest, understandable, a White House transcript shows. (en)
