  • A video shared on Facebook purports Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul called Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a traitor. Verdict: False The caption is inaccurate. A spokesperson for Paul denied the validity of the claim. Fact Check: Paul was called a coward by Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Charles Booker after failing to appear at a televised Monday debate, Kentucky Fried Politics reported. Pelosi has expressed confidence that the Democratic party would keep control of the House of Representative following the Midterms, according to The Hill . The Facebook video, viewed 10,000 times, claims Paul called Pelosi a traitor. ‘She’s A TRAITOR!’ Rand Paul UNCOVERS Nancy Pelosi’s Dark Secrets In Public, the video’s caption reads. The caption is inaccurate. There are no credible news reports suggesting Paul called Pelosi a traitor or any disparaging remarks. Likewise, there is no mention of the claim on Paul’s or Pelosi’s verified social media pages or their respective websites . The 16-minute video features clips from two unrelated speeches delivered on the Senate and House floors. In the first clip, Paul details his objections to a $40 billion Ukraine aid bill, citing an 1867 essay published in Harper’s Magazine called, Not Yours to Give to support his objections.

Adam Schiff over the Protecting Our Democracy Act. Jordan also accused Schiff of misleading both Congress and average Americans on political matters involving the former president including the alleged Trump-Russia collusion and the Mueller investigation. The caption is not accurate, a Paul spokesperson said of the video in an email to Check Your Fact. Check Your Fact has also contacted a Pelosi spokesperson for comment and will update this piece accordingly if one is received. (en)
