Republican former candidate Liz Harris, who is part of the Maricopa County audit, put out pamphlets that aren't standing up to fact-checks from basic internet searches.

Harris claims that the "grassroots canvas" of the 2020 election turned up 96,389 so-called "ghost votes." She showed an example of this using a photo she said was taken at a residence in Goodyear, Arizona that showed they cast two mail-in-ballots.

"Six weeks pregnant means two weeks late for your period, and two weeks late on your period for any person, any person with a menstrual cycle can happen if you are stressed, if your diet changes, or for really no reason at all. So, you don't have six weeks," the congresswoman told Anderson Cooper.

Now, however, he's headed to jail after stealing a Black Lives Matter banner from a historically Black Church and possessing two high-capacity magazines in Washington, D.C.

One hundred years ago, a 21-part expose on the Klan was published in The New York World, exposing the ideology of the group and shocking a nation. Writing Sunday, New York Times columnist Charles Blow noted that the story was such a sensation that at least 18 other papers around the United States ran the stories. People even lined up to get the next installment.

"But, as I read through that coverage to write this column, I was struck by just how resilient Klan ideology has been in the years since The World exposed the group's systems and rituals; its ideas have been repackaged and dressed up — or, disrobed, as it were — but the core tenets remain the same," wrote Blow. "I was even struck by how many of the same tactics are still being used to preserve white supremacy and subjugate racial, ethnic and religious minorities in this country."
