When North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham switched political parties and joined the GOP, she said: "What has really changed?" The answer: her position on abortion. @PolitiFactNC https://t.co/XpndLXfcja

U.S. Senate candidate takes swing at Washington, hits fellow North Carolina Democrat. @PolitiFactNC https://t.co/eVKA20KSH3

[PolitiFact NC @PolitiFactNC]

Liberal activists are sounding the alarm about a North Carolina bill that seeks to outlaw abortion and punish those involved in the procedure.

But one viral tweet exaggerates what the bill would do and omits key context. #ncpol

.@PolitiFactNC: This ad about Sen. @kdeviere's votes is false.

Ad sponsor: We didn't mean "vote" in, like, the literal sense ...

Democratic Congressional candidate @BenClarkNC said @RepRichHudson *opposed* a bill to cap insulin prices at $35 a month.

Turns out, Hudson was one of 12 Republicans who supported it. #ncpol

In October, Cheri Beasley announced she wants to eliminate the filibuster.

Prior to that, was she “always very clear” about wanting reform?

Fact check:

Mark Robinson says AG Josh Stein decided to “go after” Jan. 6 protesters…

But has “said nothing” about protestors who got violent in North Carolina, and was “derelict in his duty” for not prosecuting them. #ncpol

A recent Facebook post by @RepRichHudson lacks a lot of important context, says @AndySpecht with @PolitiFactNC and @WRAL
https://t.co/qWY4Fz2nxN #ncpol

[PolitiFact NC @PolitiFactNC]

Rep. Hudson posted an image that said the “Taliban’s new arsenal” includes 33 Black Hawk helicopters, adding:

“the Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of countries in the world.”

Only one of these numbers is accurate. #ncpol

In this week's fact check, @AndySpecht joined me to look at a claim made by NC's Lt. Governor regarding HIPAA. #ncpol
https://t.co/KbIJw7vmsf

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

NC's lieutenant governor said the Biden administration's door-to-door efforts to promote vaccines violate HIPAA laws. This is a misunderstanding of what HIPAA actually does. https://t.co/sihyQX7Gci @PolitiFactNC
