Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: No Going Back PAC and Michael Whatley’s campaign
Claim: Roy Cooper supports higher taxes on Social Security, tips and overtime and, if elected, “he’ll tax your Social Security.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Cooper opposed the broader Republican tax-and-spending law, but he has said he supports eliminating taxes on Social Security, tips and overtime. FactCheck.org also noted that many seniors earning under $75,000 receive little or no benefit from the law’s additional senior deduction because they already owe no federal income tax.
