WaPo “Fact Checker” Gets Humiliated By Twitter’s ‘Community Notes’ After Claiming Alvin Bragg Isn’t Backed By Soros

Far-left Washington Post Editor Glenn Kessler tried his best to defend Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg against claims that he is “backed” by Soros, but he got utterly embarrassed in the process. Kessler published a piece called “The incendiary claim that George Soros ‘funds’ Alvin Bragg”, but his story had some major holes in it.

His “fact check” claims there are “no links” between Soros and Bragg, but the Twitter “Community Notes” feature set the record straight.

“Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, the largest individual donation it received in the 2022 election cycle, days after it endorsed Bragg for district attorney and pledged more than $1 million to support his candidacy,” the Community Note said in response to Kessler’s tweet.

This apparently triggered Kessler, as he tweeted a response…which also got “fact checked” by the Twitter feature. As you can see, there are MULTIPLE “fact checks” under his whining tweet:

In response to Kessler’s 2nd fake tweet, the Twitter Community Notes added this:

The original Community Note says that the Color of Change PAC *pledged* $1 million. Soros donated $1 million to the PAC days after it endorsed Bragg and pledged more than $1 million in spending to support his candidacy. The PAC ultimately spent $420,000.

Popular conservative Twitter user Alx laughed at his expense:

So did Elon Musk:

Turns out the Washington Post fact-checkers need a few classes in actual “fact checking”.
