A “misinformation” reporter for the far-left fact-checking organization PolitiFact who tried to discredit The Federalist’s report on Haitian immigrants hunting geese in Springfield, Ohio, has a history of whitewashing far-left radicalism.
On Sunday, Loreben Tuquero sought to undermine Federalist coverage of an audio recording of a police call in Springfield wherein a local resident reported a group of Haitians carrying dead geese.
“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there was about four of ’em, they all had geese in their hand,” the caller told the public services dispatcher. “I’m time crunching here, and I saw that, I’m like, ‘Yeah this has got to be reported.’”
The police audio came as other residents in the community of roughly 60,000, overwhelmed by more than 20,000 Haitians, complained of spotting immigrants hunting geese in the local parks. Tuquero said the call was problematic, however, because officials “found no proof.”
“The caller said he couldn’t identify the full license plate number of the car the group was traveling in,” Tuquero reported, despite the caller making clear in the recorded audio that the car drove away as he made note of the plates.
According to Tuquero, Meta flagged posts related to the story as “false news and misinformation” on its platforms despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s declaration just three weeks ago that the company would refrain from the kind of election interference Silicon Valley engaged in
