Nancy Pelosi retires with a long record, and a long fact-checking trail to match
Almost since PolitiFact’s 2007 founding, we’ve been covering Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who announced her retirement, effective in January 2027.
We first fact-checked the former House speaker on Aug. 25, 2008, when she characterized then-presidential candidate Barack Obama as a state legislator with a history of bipartisanship, a claim we rated Half True. In all, we have rated Pelosi’s statements 56 times on Truth-O-Meter, with a median rating of Half True.
