The Washington Post Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “four Pinocchios” Wednesday after it fact-checked her claim about border crossings under President Joe Biden. An aide for the representative reportedly told the publication Rep. Pelosi was referring to reporting by Reuters that claimed Biden was now deporting more people than Trump. That article, however, made no such claim and instead said Biden was on pace to surpass any single year of Trump-era deportation figures by the end of fiscal year 2024, the Washington Post explained. “So at a basic level, Pelosi’s claim is wrong, even on deportations as measured by Reuters,” The Washington Post wrote. “Meanwhile, even with a broad focus, Trump failed to match Obama’s record on deportations.”Rep. Pelosi's comment, the Post decided, earned her four Pinocchios.
