This Tim Walz post attacking Ann Coulter is a fabrication | Fact check

There is no record of the post on Walz's verified X account and no credible evidence that it was ever posted in the first place.

Numerous images and videos from the convention show flags on stage with speakers.

The chant was digitally added to footage of the convention. The audio originated from a video of a 2020 protest against police brutality.

While Trump proposed the idea of debating on Fox News on Sept. 4, Harris never publicly agreed to that plan. The pair are set to debate on Sept. 10.

The video is a year old and features Trump discussing COVID-19. He does not mention the mpox.

The video is a fabrication that wasn't reported or published by USA TODAY. The Church of Satan said it hasn't thanked Paris Olympics organizers.

Trump didn't misspeak, he was addressing a group of supporters in the audience who had traveled from North Carolina.

It has been more than 60 years since the virus causing mpox was discovered. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were first administered in late 2020.

The claim originated as satire in 2023. There are no credible reports from 2024 that Kelce knelt or was ejected or fined for any reason.

It's not unprecedented for a candidate's home state to initially pass during the roll call and cast delegate votes at the end.
