Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itHinson attributes a specific policy position to her opponent (repealing the working family tax cut) and characterizes that cut as reducing Social Security taxes — both the opponent's stated position and the law's effect on Social Security taxes are verifiable.
What we foundTurek did say he would repeal the Working Families Tax Cut law, but multiple sources—including Turek himself—indicate he explicitly stated he would fight to preserve (reinstate) the Social Security-related provisions, contradicting the claim that his repeal stance would eliminate the Social Security tax relief.
