Fact-Checking Jay Sonza

Broadcast journalist-turned-blogger Jay Sonza posted some “breaking news” on his social media account, claiming that U.S. Congress rejected US President Joe Biden’s request for war aid for Ukraine, Taiwan and the Philippines, while accurately reporting that the U.S. House of Representatives approved $14.5 billion in assistance to Israel

The problem with Sonza’s post is that Biden’s request of $105 billion in war aid, of which the $14 billion aid to Israel was part of, never included anything for the Philippines.

Furthermore, Congress has approved the Israel funding but has not (yet) rejected those for Ukraine, Taiwan, U.S. border security and other humanitarian aid.

Where did Sonza get his information?
