‘Jeez, when politifact has to correct a liberal’: Justice Sotomayor Called Out By Politifact And Jake Tapper For Glaring Falsehoods

Here are a couple of examples:

J. Sotomayor says Omicron is as deadly as Delta. #SCOTUS

J. Sotomayor says over 100K children in serious condition, "many on ventilators" #SCOTUS

That second claim from Sotomayor was even too much for Politifact:

NEW: Justice Sonia Sotomayor said during oral arguments today that “we have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators” due to the coronavirus. That's False. https://t.co/9itoVd1s1L pic.twitter.com/zX8Nf6Bx8r

In contrast, CNN's Jake Tapper called out the liberal justice. "That's just not true," he said of her claims about child hospitalizations as a graph was shown. "There are fewer than 5,000 minors hospitalized with COVID right now." pic.twitter.com/0qRwHVMfb1
