Démêler le vrai du faux

Discerning the true from the false

Context : In describing that U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DSA-NY 14) was in a "safely Democratic district," the New York Times ignored that her district partially overlapped with a New York City Council District, which has just elected a Republican to serve on the Municipal Legislature. How could New York's 14th Congressional district be "safely Democratic," if a portion of it voted for a Republican ?

    Two Young Democratic Stars Collide Over Israel and Their Party’s Future (The New York Times)
    Nicholas Fandos / Nov. 11, 2023
    Claim :

    The New York Times portrayed AOC's Congressional district as safely Democratic. "(Her own safely Democratic district in Queens and the Bronx is largely Latino, Black and Asian, with only small Jewish and Arab populations.)"


    Disposition : Partially True/Partially False
    Findings :

    In November 2023, an area overlapping with part of the Bronx portion of New York's 14th Congressional District elected Kristy Marmorato, a Republican to the New York City Council. This will be the first time in 50 years when a Republican will represent the Bronx in the Municipal Legislature.
