Episode 5718: Attacks On Cleta Mitchell; Remembering Oct 7th 2016 And 2023

47 claimsThe check →

Multiple sources dated before 2026-10-07 (ProPublica reporting Oct. 28, The Federalist, Liberty Tribune, RealClearPolitics, and a court filing describing threats and harassment against Mitchell) show Cleta Mitchell was the target of criticism, hostile coverage, and threats as of the claim date.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. ProPublica published a lengthy critical investigation of Mitchell on Oct. 28, 2026, which Mitchell's supporters and conservative outlets described as attacks/hit pieces on her.[1][2][5]

Supports. The Liberty Tribune reports Mitchell faces sustained criticism and accusations of voter suppression and extremism from left-leaning groups and media, and says she believes ProPublica is attacking her because she is effective.[3]

Supports. A court filing states Mitchell has been the target of threats and harassment because of her election integrity work, describing her as a continuing target.[4]

Context. Sources are largely partisan commentary on both sides; the factual core (criticism and threats directed at her) is what is being graded, not the merits of the criticism.[2][6][7]
