One group of “fact-checkers” took a break from thrashing conservatives to admit that a Republican was right in criticizing the left. In this case, it was Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis.
PolitiFact admitted in a post made on Saturday that DeSantis was right when he called out Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Last month, after the George Soros-backed Bragg secured a dubious indictment of former President Donald Trump for an alleged hush payment to stripper Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign, Desantis noted that Bragg “has downgraded over 50% of the felonies to misdemeanors.”
PolitiFact admitted DeSantis was right but insisted on a caveat.
As for the governor being correct, the website noted that Bragg’s office reviewed 15,710 felony arrests in 2022, and opted to not prosecute 1,225 of them, or almost 8%.
