Where's the FACT Check for Kristen Welker's Lie About Kamala Mourning at Dover AFB? #Political
NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker doesn't have a page at PolitiFact. She's apparently never mangled a fact that required checking. It's because she's in the liberal fold. By contrast, Tucker Carlson has 18 fact checks during the Biden era, with seven "Pants On Fire" rulings, ten "False" and one "Mostly False."
On Sunday, Welker unloaded a whopper as she rushed in to contradict Sen. Tom Cotton as he responded to the fake Arlington Cemetery scandal. He pointed out the perversity that the Democrat media is hounding Trump when Kamala Harris failed to come to Arlington to honor the 13 service members killed by a suicide bomber during the botched Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Welker falsely claimed Harris was present at Dover Air Force Base when the bodies arrived for a "dignified transfer." That, too, was an occasion for fact-mangling, when the "fact checkers" tried to deny an undignified President Biden repeatedly looked at his watch as the bodies were transferred. They had to issue corrections.
Here's how Welker just lied about Kamala's whereabouts on August 29, 2021.

COTTON: They wanted President Trump there. They wanted to take those photos. You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away, ten minutes. She could've gone to the cemetery and – and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women. But she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them.
WELKER: Well, they – they did meet with them during the dignified –
COTTON: It's because –
WELKER: – transfer –
COTTON: – of her –
WELKER: They were with them at the dignified transfer.
COTTON: – her and – her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan.
WELKER: Well, not everyone, obviously, was pleased with this visit. And again, just the law says memorial services and ceremonies at Army national military cemeteries will not include partisan political activities.
NBC put out a rare "correction" with a weaselly tone that Welker "incorrectly implied" Harris was there. She didn't imply -- she lied outright. Harris has not met these families or spoken with these families.
On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden was in attendance but Harris was not.

This is what happens when these media Democrats are so desperate to fight with Republicans with their "fact checking in real time." Facts aren't as important as demonstrating you're "on the team."
PS: Welker's predecessor Chuck Todd has a page at PolitiFact: seven on the True/Mostly True side, one Half True, one False.
