Fact-checkers rush to defend Kamala Harris after VP's controversial 'equity' comments
Fox News
Vice President Kamala Harris was widely criticized over recent comments about hurricane relief, but mainstream media fact-checkers rushed to her defense.
"We have to address this in a way that's about giving resources based on equity, understanding we fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity," she added. Brian Flood is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to brian.flood@fox.com and on Twitter: @briansflood.
The remarks drew swift criticism, as some believed Harris essentially stated aid would be distributed based on racial and economic "equity," but fact-checkers at the Associated Press, Reuters and PolitiFact have all rushed to her defense, saying she was talking more broadly about climate change.
