Randi Weingarten fact-checked for false claim that DeSantis arrested political opponents | Fox News

Twitter users fact-checked American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten for falsely claiming that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is arresting his political opponents. The false claim stemmed from a tweet written by Florida Planned Parenthood Action, the Twitter account for the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates and Florida Planned Parenthood PAC, which says in its bio that it defends "reproductive health care including abortion." On Monday, the group wrote that the Tallahassee Police Department arrested several pro-choice protesters at City Hall, including state Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book and state Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried.
