True85% confidence4 sourcesOct 26, 2026Pollsters have fraudulently given false polls in past elections.Said by 2CMultiple sources report that at least two polling firms, Wedgewood Polls and Median Strategies, admitted fabricating poll results in the 2026 cycle, which supports the claim that pollsters have fraudulently given false polls. The sources describe a small number of fraudulent firms rather than pollsters as a whole, and the polls concerned were the 2026 midterm-cycle polls rather than older elections.True70% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026Statues and memorials were desecrated during Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots.Said by BMultiple sources, including a Reuters investigation and a Stanford-style scholarly article, document statues and memorials being torn down or defaced during the 2020 George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests, with Antifa participation reported in some incidents (e.g., Portland statue toppling). The claim's core assertion that statues and memorials were desecrated during these riots is supported, though the sources also note limited evidence of a central Antifa role, which bears on the Antifa attribution.True65% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump is aware of the memorial vandalism incident and is angry about it.Said by BSources show Trump repeatedly and angrily commented on memorial vandalism, including the August 2026 WWII Memorial spray-painting and the Reflecting Pool damage he kept blaming on vandals as of October 2026, so awareness and anger are supported as of 2026-10-26. The post does not name which incident it means; the WWII Memorial case is the likeliest referent, and the sources do not address the deportation or prosecution details the speaker predicted.True85% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The National Symphony Orchestra is performing Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker and Prokofiev's Cinderella on November 20, 2026, at Rachel Schlesinger Hall and November 21-22, 2026, at Lisner Auditorium.Said by AThe sources show the NSO's Nutcracker & Cinderella program on Nov. 20, 2026 at Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and on Nov. 21 and 22, 2026 at Lisner Auditorium, matching the claim. The listings were published on 2026-10-30 and 2026-10-31, after the 2026-10-26 post date, but they describe the schedule as announced in August, so they reflect the state of affairs on the post date.Can’t tell40% confidence4 sourcesOct 26, 2026Democrats allow illegal immigrants to vote in elections.The claim departs from the passage: the post says non-citizens are voting and that arrests are being made, but it never says Democrats allow this, and its only political attribution is to Republican leaders such as Thune and the president. Fact-checkers do reject the broader allegation that Democrats deliberately let illegal immigrants vote, but that is not the post's assertion, so the verdict is unverifiable.Can’t tell30% confidence2 sourcesOct 26, 2026The speaker has voted for Donald Trump three times.Said by BThe claim is the post author's own statement about their voting history, and no independent source confirms or refutes it. The only closely matching source is a 2026 transcript of the same podcast host repeating the same statement, which is the claimant's own words and cannot corroborate it; the other sources concern different people or unrelated Trump statements.Can’t tell60% confidence6 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump is currently in his third year of his second term as president.Said by DThe sources show Trump's second term began January 20, 2025, which makes October 26, 2026 the second year of that term, not the third; the post itself said he was "almost going into his third year," so the extracted claim that he is "currently in his third year" departs from the passage. Because the extraction adds a present-tense assertion the post did not make, the verdict is unverifiable rather than false, though the sources would contradict the claim as worded.Can’t tell75% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026The individual who vandalized the Iwo Jima memorial received $2,000 a month in cash via an EBT card.Said by BNo provided source mentions EBT cards, cash benefits, or any government payments to Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, so the claim cannot be graded either way. The claim also departs from the passage: the post presents the $2,000 figure as a speculative bet ('I bet you'), not as a verified fact, and the extraction drops that framing.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026Nikki Haley oversaw the removal of statues while she was governor.Said by 2CThe sources document Haley's role in removing the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina Statehouse in 2015, but none reports statues being taken down while she was governor. The claim also departs from the passage, which says statues were taken down and does not say Haley oversaw it, so the sources neither confirm nor refute the claim.Can’t tell30% confidence7 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump has removed Communists from the United States.Said by 2CThe extracted claim says Trump removed Communists from the United States, but the post only said Communists should be gotten out of "our backyard" and that he had done that, which is a foreign-policy reference, not a claim about removing people from the US. None of the sources reports any removal of Communists from the US; they cover Trump's anti-communist rhetoric and a 2023 proposal to bar Communists from entry, so the central assertion is neither supported nor contradicted.Can’t tell40% confidence10 sourcesOct 26, 2026A Red-Green Alliance exists within the Democratic Party in the United States.Said by BThe claim that a Red-Green Alliance exists within the Democratic Party is a sweeping characterization of a political faction, and the sources are almost entirely opinion pieces, advocacy commentary, and claims by Cruz, Gaffney, and others that echo the framing without independent factual record; no fact-checker or authoritative body examined and rejected or confirmed it. The post's own assertion is also hyperbolic rhetoric about 'the rise' of an alliance across many countries, which the sources do not substantiate or dismiss as a checkable fact.Can’t tell40% confidence9 sourcesOct 26, 2026Donald Trump has expressed anger regarding a specific individual who vandalized a memorial.Said by BSources show Trump repeatedly expressed anger at vandals of the WWII Memorial and the Reflecting Pool, calling them "animals" and saying "we are on their trail," but his statements targeted unidentified vandals or the handling of the case, not a specific individual. The post's "this guy" is not clearly identified in the sources, and none ties Trump's anger to a named person as of 2026-10-26, so the claim is not clearly graded either way.
