Facebook just flagged my "WE'LL BE CUTTING" post as "Partly False Information Found in Your Post" [View all]

[Miles Archer]

I shared a story about Trump, at his "Fox Town Hall," saying "We'll be cutting."

Now, what was he talking about? "Entitlements." And what do Republicans consider to be "entitlements?" Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Here's the alert I received, and the rationale behind it appears below.

THE RATIONALE, from the "fact checker?"

"According to a transcript of the event on March 5, 2020, Trump never specifically mentioned those entitlement programs by name. The headline and subheader of an article claimed that the president specifically said those were programs for which he was planning to reduce funding. However, the words "Social Security" and "Medicare" do not appear in the official transcripts."
