  1. Republicans are spreading a coordinated lie right now. No US taxpayer money went to Iran or Hamas. This is a blatant disinformation campaign being waged by Republicans today. To be clear, this was Iranian money, and not a penny of U.S. taxpayer money was used. Moreover, not a cent of this $6 billion has been spent yet. And furthermore, the $6 billion is in a heavily monitored account in Qatar and the funds can only be spent on direct humanitarian aid. In September, the U.S. negotiated a prisoner swap with Iran, which involved the Biden administration unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian oil money that was being held in South Korea since 2018 in exchange for 5 American detainees.

  3.  @AlreadyShort  The most common coordinated refrain from the right is a false claim that President Biden gave $6 billion is taxpayer money to Iran, and that this money is being used to fund the attacks on Israel (it is suspected that Iran and Russia could be linked to these attacks). This was echoed by Donald Trump, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump Jr, Sen. J.D. Vance, Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and dozens more Republicans. This is a lie.
