Get the Facts: Checking Kenan Thompson's Project 2025 skit at the DNC
It's the honor of my life to accept your nomination for vice president of the United States. Tim walls. The party's pick for BP was Wednesday night in BP. Leaders don't spend all day insulting people and blaming others. Leaders do the work. So I don't know about you. I'm ready to turn the page on these guys. So go ahead, say it with me. We're not going back walls. Speech, the high note of the evening. Oh, let us not just believe in the American dream. Let us be worthy of it. DNC 93 was *** night where speakers across the political spectrum talked about freedoms sacrifice and what's at stake. So to my fellow Republicans, if you aren't voting for *** democrat, you're voting for democracy. My father never cast *** vote because of Jim Crow. So I dedicated my career to protecting the votes against violence and discrimination on January 6th. I nearly died protecting the Capitol and I will do it again for our democracy. Former president, Bill Clinton telling the crowd their choice is clear when Kamala Harris is president every day. We'll begin with you. You, you, you and then came, oh Oprah Winfrey, when we stand together, it is impossible to conquer us.

During Night 3 of the DNC, Kenan Thompson led what conference organizers called a "skit" about Project 2025. During the segment, Thompson interfaced with other convention attendees to tell them how their lives would be impacted by Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's playbook for the next Republican administration. Related video above: Gov. Tim Walz formally accepted the Democratic Vice Presidential nominationThompson made several claims about the policy document. Here are the facts: Claim: "On page 584, Project 2025 calls for the elimination of protections for LGBTQ+ Americans."Get the Facts: The document does not contain any explicit call for the elimination of protections for LGBTQ+ Americans on page 584. The page is part of the section dealing with the Department of Labor and related agencies, focusing on labor policies and reforms. The document does call for rolling back existing protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, though. On page 475, it specifically calls for rescinding current regulations that interpret sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and for refocusing enforcement on the "biological binary meaning of 'sex.'" And on page 333 and 334, the policy document advocates for removing sexual orientation from Title IX protections.Rating: Needs Context.Claim: "On page 465, Project 2025 calls for millions of people like yourself to pay more for prescription drugs like insulin."Get the Facts: Page 465 of the document is part of the section on the Department of Health and Human Services. The document discusses various health policy reforms, including changes to the regulatory environment for pharmaceuticals, but there is no direct statement that calls for increasing the cost of insulin or other prescription drugs. The claim appears to be a speculative interpretation rather than a factual statement.Rating: Misleading.Claim: "On page 459, Project 2025 resurrects a law from the 1800s called the Comstock Act to ban abortion nationwide."Get the Facts: Page 459 is indeed part of the section on the Department of Health and Human Services, discussing policies around healthcare. The document references historical laws, including the Comstock Act, in the context of restricting abortion and related services. However, it does not explicitly state that the Comstock Act will be "resurrected" to ban abortion nationwide but suggests a more stringent regulatory approach.Rating: Partially True.Related video below: DNC highlights importance of women voters for the Harris-Walz campaignClaim: "On page 78, Project 2025 calls for President Trump to purge the civil service of everyone who isn바카라 게임 웹사이트t a MAGA loyalist."Get the Facts: Page 78 discusses the centralization and reform of federal personnel, emphasizing the need to align the federal workforce with the administration's goals. The document advocates for making it easier to remove federal employees who are not aligned with the administration's agenda, which could be interpreted as favoring loyalists. However, the language does not explicitly call for purging non-MAGA loyalists.Rating: Misleading.Claim: "On page 319, Project 2025 calls for the complete elimination of the Department of Education."Get the Facts: Page 319 is indeed where the Department of Education is discussed. The document advocates for significant reductions in the size and scope of the Department of Education, potentially devolving its responsibilities to states and local governments. It strongly suggests a limited scope for the Department of Education and goes so far as to say, "ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated."Rating: True.
