MOSTLY TRUE: Politifact’s Official Twitter Account Is Posting Bonkers Haikus

Politifact is objectively great because it is an even nerdier Snopes. The bipartisan fact-checking site is known for issuing rulings on the honesty of politicians’ statements. From true to mostly true, false to pants on fire, and everything in between, we turn to Politifact when we want a thorough breakdown of a pol’s trustworthiness.

Except when we turn to them for haikus?

Look at what is happening on their Twitter right now:

Trump touts terror link
Obama supports al-Qaida
Not true, Pants on Fire

Mostly True and dank

It appears that their website is down:

So a not-so-funny thing happened today. We’ve now published so many fact-checks (like 13,000) that our database is full. (1/2)

Of course, the people still need their Politifacts, so the social media team came up with an idea:

If our 404 page gets 1 million page views, pizza for everyone!

Sadly, their formatting is a little shaky. Claims that they are well-versed in haikus would be rated “mostly true” on account of this:
