Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world.

Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Claim by Karine Jean-Pierre: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema “voted with the president 93% of the time.”

Sinema objected to several of Biden’s legislative proposals and forced compromises before the legislation came to a vote. And Sinema voted with Biden less often than the majority of Democrats.) Sinema voted with Biden most of the time, but less often than the majority of Democrats |
