Video: Speaker Mike Johnson Tells an Iowa Rally There Is 'No Such Thing as a Moderate Democrat,' With Trump on Stage in Dubuque
A 49-second Fox News clip from Trump's Iowa rally two days before the midterms. We relied on Fox's title and description, not a transcript.
Fox News posted a 49-second clip titled "Mike Johnson warns there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat," tagged to "Big Weekend Show."
What Fox says. According to the network's description, House Speaker Mike Johnson joined President Trump on stage at a campaign rally in Dubuque, Iowa, and told the crowd that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat in today's politics. Fox says he urged strong support for Republican congressional candidates and called the stakes of the election critical for the country's future.
What we could not check. This post summarizes a short video. We relied on Fox News's published title and description, not a transcript, so we cannot quote Johnson or say what evidence he offered for the claim. The description includes no response from Democrats. Johnson is a party leader making a campaign pitch two days before the election. We have not verified the clip's contents.
