U.S.—Snopes has fact-checked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's account of the attack on the Capitol, rating her claim that she was in mortal danger with rioters literally inches away from her as "factually inaccurate but morally true."

The fact-check pointed out that while Ocasio-Cortez's wild claims were factually untrue, they supported the narrative that the unbiased fact-checkers at Snopes approve of, and so they were compelled to rate her claims as "morally true."

Paraphrased: It’s a lie, but we have solidarity with our comrade.


What a joke snopes has become.

Edit: I see it’s the bee. Still, what a joke snopes has become.

Well played, OP. Fell for it right up to the link. Though she is also a danger to this country any time she leaves home.

Frankly, I'm starting to get irritated by the Bee. In this Age of Insanity it's so close to what might be plausible that I have to check too see if it's real or fake.

When you have the intelligence of AOC, you are always in mortal danger. You might get distracted by a butterfly and walk into a bus or something.

Snopes
Lies for dopes.

Snopes couldn't tell a lie from the truth if God Himself came down and delivered the message.

Wtf does this mean?

Do they think someone stealing Valor and telling war stories as factually inaccurate but morally true?

Never change that compass, Snopes.

You see, even though AOC was not in the Capitol when her friends broke in and stormed the building, she nevertheless transcendentally experienced the horror anyway.

I'm sure Snopes rates Hillary Clinton dodging sniper fire as morally true.

Yep. I totally fell for that thread title and came in here pissed off.

The Bee got me again.

Sadly, the Bee's satires are of equivalence to actual headlines in America circa 2021.
