AP fact-checks Christopher Rufo over parent protesters being referred to as ‘domestic terrorists’

As Twitchy reported, it was a matter of days between the National School Boards Association sending a letter to the Biden administration and Attorney General Merrick Garland sending a memo to the FBI directing it to coordinate efforts with local law enforcement in the face of threats to teachers and school board members. Anti-critical race theory crusader Christopher Rufo sent out a tweet saying that Garland’s memo followed the National School Board Association’s request to classify protests as “domestic terrorism.”
The Associated Press fact-checked Rufo and found his claim to be false:
AP Fact Check ~ Contrary to false claims circulating online, the National School Boards Association didn’t ask President Joe Biden to label protesting parents “domestic terrorists,” and there’s no indication Biden or the Justice Department called them terrorists, either.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The organization — the NSBA, for short — is not asking Biden to label parents who protest at school board meetings as terrorists. The NSBA asked the administration to do an interagency investigation of threats of violence against school board members and said the threats “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Biden has yet to publicly comment on the issue, and there’s no indication he or the Department of Justice has called protesting parents “domestic terrorists,” despite false claims to that effect by social media users.
Yeah, but ... the actual NSBA letter, that everyone has read, clearly proves that your so-called "fact" check is an obvious, pathetic lie. Apparently, while doing your "journalisming," you forgot to actually READ the letter before spewing your obviously fraudulent propaganda. OUCH!
Christopher F. Rufo ~ The AP claims that my report about the NSBA is "misinformation."
But their "fact check" is easily debunked by the NSBA letter itself, which asks the administration to classify parent protests as "a form of domestic terrorism" and recommends prosecution under the "PATRIOT Act."
Christopher F. Rufo ~ The AP's easily debunked "fact check" is driving a massive ratio and the reporter has locked his account.
It's time for fact check editor (and former HuffPo employee) @KarenMahabir to retract this story.
Christina Pushaw ~ Fun fact: "AP" stands for "Activist Progressives."
Physics Geek ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) If you're going to lie, maybe doing so in a way that is stupid, obviously and easily refuted isn't the way to go, but you do you.
J.G. Petruna ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) IT'S THE YELLOW PART.
(It's circled in red, too. Hope you find it!)
Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ ~ "Contrary to false claims circulating online ..."
Hey, @AP, is your "fact check" here claiming this is false because they didn't go to the Delaware basement and ask Joe Biden himself?
Fakeserpounce-Standing With Israel ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) The NSBA LITERALLY called it "domestic terrorism" in their letter.
Maggie Maggenhall ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Sweet spin, bro.
Man_in_the_High_Keep-{R.A.T.S.-TDA3c} ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Thank you for providing a stellar example of why public trust in the media has fallen so low.
Terry Fahn ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) This is pretty bad @AP. I read the letters and they are pretty clear. Please be better. We need honest journalism now more than ever.
Ari Fantis ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) "A form of domestic terrorism." Its literally in the letter. No amount of spin from the NSBA can erase the slandering of parents in their outrageous un-American letter.
Get Off My Patience Wearing Thin Lawn ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Photo from the AP office today. Spin, spin, spin.
WeTheCommoners ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Did you read the letter?
That presumes that the people at AP know how to read. I'm not sure ... after this, anyway ... that is a given.
Jason Vance ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Since when has the @FBI ever been asked to be involved with parents speaking at school board meetings?
What’s changed in America that even makes this an issue?
Biden's America.
Chris ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Did Psaki write this for you?
THAT is an excellent question ... that an actual journalist would ask.
The Big Guy ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Thank you, Democratic Party's PR firm. Whatever they're paying you, it's too much.
GIGABEAR ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) You do realize we can read the letter ourselves right?
AP may be presuming that everyone is as illiterate as they are.
Conservative Virginia ~ (Replying to @APFactCheck) Check again. #RIPJournalism
