A USA Today ‘fact-checker’ got ripped after he smeared Gold Star families and ran cover for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden repeatedly checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the 13 US service members who died in the Kabul blast.
Gold Star Father Darin Hoover, father of slain Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, and Mark Schmitz, father of Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, joined Sean Hannity earlier this week.
The two Gold Star Fathers told Sean about their time at Dover Air Base when their sons returned home to the US on Sunday.
The media reported that Joe Biden checked his watch during the return ceremony. Mark Schmitz told Sean Hannity that Biden checked his watch AT LEAST FIVE TIMES during the Dignified Transfer Ceremony honoring the men and women who gave their lives for this country.
USA Today immediately sprung into action to run cover for Joe Biden and smeared the Gold Star families with a bogus ‘fact-check.’
New fact check: A viral photo makes it look like President Biden checked his watch during a ceremony honoring U.S. service members killed in Kabul. But that’s misleading. https://t.co/F6bjQFYVbC

Nothing is too low for these scumbags.
USA today labeled the claim Joe Biden repeatedly checked his watch “misleading.”
Based on our research, we rate PARTLY FALSE the claim that Trump saluted the caskets of fallen U.S. service members, while Biden checked his watch. The pictures are real, but they don’t accurately summarize the two events. The way Biden honored the 11 caskets presented at Dover Air Force Base, with a hand over his heart, was similar to how Trump paid respects to fallen service members during his presidency. Biden checked his watch, but he did so after the ceremony had ended.
USA Today was forced to issue a correction and admit Joe Biden repeatedly checked his watch during the ceremony after getting RIPPED to shreds.
“I regret the error” – the fact-checker said after his lie made its way around the country for two days!
The fact-check went from ‘partly false’ to ‘missing context.’
They never stop lying!
“Corrections & Clarifications: This story was updated Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself. The rating on this claim has been changed from partly false to missing context.”
As many of you already know, this story has been corrected. Biden checked his watch multiple times during the ceremony. I regret the error. https://t.co/F6bjQFYVbC

The fact-checker said he’s only human…someone should fact-check that claim.
Journalists and fact-checkers are human (yes, even me!) We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them and try to make it right.
