The Facts:

Harris Claim:  'As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is an active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, the first time this century. 

Fact: There are currently 2,500 U.S. military troops in Iraq and more than 900 U.S. military personnel in Syria who are on a mission to support local forces to prevent a resurgence by ISIS. But the real threat to these troops over the past year were the repeated attacks against U.S. bases in both countries by Iranian-backed militia groups that launched more than 170 rocket and drone attacks. 

During an attack on a U.S. base in neighboring Jordan this past January, three U.S. Soldiers were killed and 34 others were wounded when a drone launched by militia groups made it past air defense systems.  

U.S. troops are also in Somalia and other parts of Africa, where they support local troops fighting terrorist groups, and they’ve been shooting down Houthi drones and missiles in the Red Sea.

Trump Claim: “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison," 

Fact: CNN recently reported that in her response to an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire in 2019, Harris said transgender people who rely on the state for care, including federal prisoners and detainees, should have access to gender transition treatment. 

Harris claim: “Donald Trump is weak and wrong on national security and foreign policy.” 

Fact: Under Trump’s administration the U.S. southern border was secure, and America facilitated multiple peace agreements between Israel and Arab states. Under the Biden-Harris administration, Russia invaded Ukraine, Iran-backed Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel, and China has ramped up its threats toward Taiwan, the Philippines, and Japan.

Harris claim: She doesn’t support mandatory gun confiscation. 

Fact: She has openly expressed support for such a policy.

Trump claim: “She went out in Minnesota and wanted to let criminals that killed people, that burned down Minneapolis — she went out and raised money to get them out of jail,” 

Fact: Accused rapistsrepeat offenders, and rioters alike benefitted in June 2020 when Harris encouraged her social media followers to donate to a bail fund dedicated to those arrested for their months-long, $2 billion siege of cities like Minneapolis.

Harris claim: 2017 tax cuts approved by the Trump administration disproportionately benefited America’s billionaires and corporations.

 

Fact: Data produced by the IRS has shown that “on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent,”

Harris claim: Trump will implement Project 2025 if elected.  

Fact: Trump has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 

Harris claim: Trump will sign a national abortion ban  

Fact: Trump has sworn multiple times that he would not sign federal legislation curbing abortion

Harris claim: that several states have “Trump abortion bans” that “make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide health care,” threaten women with prison time, and “make no exception, even for rape or incest.”

 

Fact: Every single pro-life policy on the books includes exceptions for abortion when it is deemed necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. Most pro-life state laws provide exceptions for rape and incest. 

Harris claim: “under Donald Trump’s abortion bans … couples who pray and dream of having a family are being denied IVF treatments.”  

Fact: Trump has openly supported IVF and even promised that he would have government fund it or require insurance companies to cover it. 

Harris claim: that Trump “incited” the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. 

Fact: Trump specifically told protestors to “peacefully and patriotically make [their] voices heard” and sought to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of Congress’s certification of the 2020 election results. 

Harris Claim: “Over the last four years, we have invested $1 trillion in a clean energy economy” 

Fact: While passing the Inflation Reduction Act put in place tax incentives and credits designed to spur the transition of the U.S. economy to renewable sources of energy, clean energy investments have only added up to $700 billion, according to Clean Investment Monitor
