Claimant: Chris Wright
Claim: The difference between canceled blue-state grants and red-state grants was just “a timing question.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: The Energy Department had identified grants in both red and blue states for termination. However, months later the red-state grants had not been terminated, while the October cancellation notices went almost entirely to recipients in blue states.
