The post, which is blurred out, is noted with, “False Information: The same information was reviewed by independent fact-checked in another post.” When you click “See Why” this is the message the viewer receives:



The Fact-Checker pulled the post as “False” with this conclusion due to the “Conservative Rant Misattributed to Actor Tim Allen”.

Apparently, a conservative rant circulating on social media has been falsely credited to the actor Tim Allen. According to FactCheck.org, “A post shared by thousands of Facebook users begins, “Tim Allen is credited with writing this,” and includes a photograph of the actor and comedian. The post includes several conservative viewpoints, such as, “We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally,” and “I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America.”

The report goes on to note that “It also makes false claims about Chelsea Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “the Obamacare website” that have already been debunked. However, there is no evidence that the right-wing rant was written by Allen, and his publicist told us he didn’t author it. “The statement you are referring to was not written by my client,” Allen’s publicist, Marleah Leslie, told us in an email.“
