“Fact check: Trump Jr. touts baseless rigged-election claims to recruit ‘army’ for his dad”

CNN:

Donald Trump Jr. is touting baseless election-rigging claims in videos posted to Facebook and Twitter asking “able-bodied” people to join an election security “army” for his father.

Facebook and Twitter affixed labels to the video pointing to accurate information about voting, but neither company said the video violated its election integrity rules in a way that would result in it being removed.

Twitter labeled the video only after being asked about it by CNN on Wednesday. The video had been on its site since Monday.

“The radical left are laying the groundwork to steal this election from my father,” Trump Jr. said in the video posted by the Trump campaign. He added, “Their plan is to add millions of fraudulent ballots that can cancel your vote and overturn the election.”
