Another fact check on Derek Tran

October 9, 2024

Derek Tran and Democrats have been called out AGAIN for blatantly lying about Representative Michelle Steel’s position on abortion. First, the Orange County Register Editorial Board fact-checked Tran and Democrats’ abortion claims, calling them “sleazy.”

“A lot will be said by candidates, political operatives and campaigns that simply isn’t accurate. Consider, for example, all of the rhetoric being thrown around about a national abortion ban supposedly supported by Republican candidates for Congress […] it’s sleazy to deliberately mislead the public about what the debate actually is and what the candidates actually think.”

Now, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board fact-checked Democrats like Tran, calling the ads “fiction.”

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is running variations of this Handmaid’s Tale fiction, with ads accusing House Republican candidates of wanting to ‘allow state governments to track pregnant women to prosecute them if they get an abortion.’ […] The next time you see an abortion ad from a Democrat, assume it’s not telling the truth.”

“This is embarrassing for Derek Tran and his D.C. Democrat friends. The only thing they can do is lie, but their lies aren’t sticking because voters know Representative Michelle Steel is a common sense champion for Southern California.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
