LABELED SATIRE
About this rating
DO YOU RELY ON SNOPES REPORTING? BECOME A MEMBER TODAY.ORIGIN
On Feb. 5, 2020, the Potatriots United website published an article positing that U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been fined a year’s salary by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for not attending the “mandatory” State of the Union address the daybefore:
> MITCH MCCONNELL FINES AOC ONE YEAR’S SALARY FOR SKIPPING MANDATORY> SOTU SPEECH
>
> The United States Constitution is clear about the State of the Union > Address. It’s a requirement that the President deliver it, and a > requirement that all of Congress attend, unless they have a > verifiable illness or emergency. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortisone broke > the law when she decided to skip the speech to make a political> statement.
>
> The rules set forth by the 103rd Congress make clear that anyone > willfully skipping the President’s speech will be reprimanded by > the Senate Majority Leader and fined up to one year’s salary for > their crime. McConnell made the decision this morning to fine her > the full amount. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: > Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not > fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, > you should have your head examined. Any similarities between this > site’s pure fantasy and actual people, places, and events are > purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and> satirical.
