The Washington Post’s Pinocchio Test is a rating system used to characterize the truthfulness of comments made by lawmakers.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “four Pinocchios” Wednesday after it fact-checked her claim about border crossings under President Joe Biden.
Rep. Pelosi told The New York Times last week “I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.” That statement, the Post wrote, was “clear as mud.” An aide for the representative reportedly told the publication Rep. Pelosi was referring to reporting by Reuters that claimed Biden was now deporting more people than Trump. That article, however, made no such claim and instead said Biden was on pace to surpass any single year of Trump-era deportation figures by the end of fiscal year 2024, the Washington Post explained.
Trump’s deportation numbers per year never fell below 52,000, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under Biden, however, these number never surpassed 40,000.
