Gov. Kim Reynolds scores mixed grades in response to the State of the Union

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds was chosen by the Republican Party to deliver the GOP’s response Tuesday night to President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address.

The Fact Checker checks only verifiable claims — so if the governor expressed an opinion or a made a vague statement that can’t be measured, we didn’t check it. Reynolds’ campaign staff provided sourcing to the Fact Checker on her claims.

This episode of the Fact Checker Podcast is hosted by Erin Jordan and features Elijah Decious and Michaela Ramm. The Fact Checker podcast is produced by Stephen M. Colbert and the music is Lobby Time by Kevin MacLeod.
