Recent stories featuring Nancy Pelosi
Stretching the truth (again!) on health care:
We put new claims about the health care law to the Truth-O-Meter and find more exaggerations and falsehoods.
A fresh untruth about tuition for undocumented students:
We've posted our review of a fresh claim that a Republican legislator gave in-state tuition to illegal immigrants.
Our look at this claim -- which caught fire -- reminded us we'd previously explored misconceptions about the Texas tuition law.
Super PACs air similar claim on Pelosi-Gingrich ties:
Claims about Newt Gingrich teaming with Nancy Pelosi on global warming appear in video ads from two different super PACs, including one supporting Texas Gov. Rick Perry's presidential candidacy. PolitiFact put those claims to the Truth-O-Meter.
There's more to television than just debates:
We also found facts to check on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.
With the entry of former pizza CEO and talk show host Herman Cain into the 2012 presidential race, our fair state now boasts two presidential prospects.
This means PolitiFact Georgia has the pleasure of checking both of them.
Newt Gingrich, whose campaign offices are in Buckhead, earned a True on health care. Cain scored a Mostly True on his claim about food stamp use and False on a gaffe about the U.S. Constitution.
Not to ignore national politics, we gave U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi a Pants on Fire for a chart she posted about the national debt. Her Republican counterpart, U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, earned a Mostly True for a statement he made on U.S. coal to the Atlanta Press Club.
Run, Georgia, run!
