Latest Social Media Lies From the Right

Seen on social media---

"National guard members turned their backs on Biden on Inauguration Day."  

False.  

"Democrats forced our great troops to sleep on the floor of a parking garage after dragging them to DC for photo ops."  

False.  First of all, it was not the Democrats who ordered the guard to DC, it was the military command of the Pentagon, at that point under the Trump administration, which did so at the request of the Mayor of Washington.  The parking garage order also did not come from any Democrat in Congress and in fact, when the House and Senate leadership heard about it, they ordered an immediate reversal.  Guard troops on duty are housed in the Capitol and Senate office complex, off duty are in local hotels. 

"Democrats are trying to pass a bill to force vaccinate children without their parents' consent."  

This one earned a "pants on fire" from PolitiFact.  NO, there is no such bill anywhere in any state or in the federal government.  Vaccinations and the legislation that governs  them are state legislative issues, not federal and no state has a law requiring vaccinations without parental consent.  

"Vice President Harris put her purse over the Bible so she wouldn't have to touch it while being sworn in."  

False.  There are several versions of this being tossed around, but if you look at the actual video of the inauguration, you can see this is absolutely false.  VP Harris was an active member of a Baptist church in Oakland, California prior to her election to the Senate and regularly attends  worship services.  She brought het own Bible as did President Biden.  

"By revoking the Keystone Pipeline, President Biden is destroying 11,000 jobs." 

False.  The contract is with a Canadian company which says it will put about 1,000 workers out of a job, not 11,000.  But within two weeks, the company says, most of those workers, who are from Canada, will be back at work in other locations.  

"A video shows President Biden saying 'salute the marines' right after he hears the words in an earpiece he was wearing at the inauguration." 

False.  You have to wonder where this stuff comes from.  Then again, we've had four years of some of the most outrageous lies coming from Trump and everyone associated with him.  So that explains it all.  

And these right wing extremists claim that mainstream media is biased?  😐😆
