The "independent fact checkers" at PolitiFact did something truly shocking on July 2. They tagged a Democrat with their harshest judgment, "Pants On Fire." It's shocking because it's been almost two years since the last time they lit pants for a Democrat. On July 31, 2024, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was flagged for suggesting JD Vance had sex with a couch.

The lying Democrat in this case is Abdul el-Sayed, who is running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, hoping to face former Rep. Mike Rogers in the fall. PolitiFact's Caleb McCullough reported that in multiple interviews and recent social media posts, El-Sayed claimed Rogers "took a $14 million payout as a pharma lobbyist." Rogers isn't a registered lobbyist for anyone. He did "paid consulting work for technology companies" after leaving Congress, but not for Big Pharma.

The Rogers campaign sent a letter to el-Sayed saying his statements "constitute defamation under Michigan law." In reply, El-Sayed........
