Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itEl-Sayed claims the national debt grew by $12 trillion attributable to his opponent's congressional tenure and support for wars — a specific figure that can be checked against debt growth data and the opponent's actual record.
What we foundThe national debt has grown substantially and Rogers has consistently supported military interventions, but no authoritative source attributes exactly $12 trillion in debt growth specifically to wars, making the specific figure overstated.
