| FALSE | Claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Atrazine in the water supply is contributing to “sexual dysphoria” in kids.

Claim via social media: Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to the same gun charge as Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, but the two rappers faced prison sentences while the president’s son does not.
AP News rating: False (Biden has reached a plea deal that would allow him to avert the gun charge. He was also charged with illegal possession of a firearm by a drug addict while Lil Wayne was charged with illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and Kodak Black was charged with making false statements to purchase multiple firearms.) Hunter Biden’s gun charge isn’t the same as those previously faced by Lil Wayne, Kodak Black |
