Kamala was fact checked. She is a gun owner? Charlottesville lie? IVF lie? Project 2025 lie? January 6th lie? That was insanity. If I was a candidate, I would never engage with mainstream media again.

HARRIS CLAIM: Trump 'intends on implementing' Project 2025

FACT-CHECK: Needs context

Conservative allies and former advisers to Donald Trump published a 900-page policy blueprint in April 2023 to help a new Republican administration transition to power. The effort – dubbed Project 2025 – was organized by the Heritage Foundation, a prominent right-wing think tank. It details proposals for staffing the government and restructuring federal agencies, writing regulations, managing the economy and ensuring national security.

Harris claims Trump "intends on implementing" the "detailed and dangerous" plan if he wins a second term. But Trump denies any association with Project 2025, saying on social media in July: "I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it," and also publicly denounced its substance as "seriously extreme" and developed by the "severe right."

"I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal," Trump posted on social media. Many of the document's priorities, however, are broadly championed by Trump, including construction of a border wall, mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and banning transgender athletes from women's sports, among other things.

Dozens of former members of his administration were involved in the project, including former cabinet secretaries and West Wing aides. Many of the same people helped craft the Republican Party platform, ABC News has reported. Speaking at a Heritage Foundation event in April 2022, Trump said: "This is a great group and they're going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do... when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America."

HARRIS CLAIM: Harris said, 'If Donald Trump were to be reelected, he will sign a national abortion ban.'

FACT-CHECK: False

Trump has said he has "no regrets" in selecting the Supreme Court justices who overturned the constitutional right to an abortion. But he also repeatedly has promised that if elected, he will not sign a federal abortion ban into law and will leave the issue up to the states. One open question this year had been whether he would enforce the Comstock Act, an 1873 law that prohibits mailing materials used in abortions.

Among other things, the law would make it illegal to ship the drug mifepristone, which is used to terminate early pregnancies. The Biden administration has said the law is unenforceable because the drug has medical uses other than abortion, and it would be impossible to know how the drug was being used. Trump's running mate, JD Vance, and other conservatives have called for the enforcement of the law.

In an August interview with CBS News, Trump said that while "we will be discussing specifics of it," he will not enforce the Comstock Act.

Weird how the other "lies" aren't showing up on fact checker sites.
