Facebook fact-checked a screenshotted Rep. Dan Mueser quote about energy independence: NewsBusters posted a graphic quoting Rep. Dan Mueser's (R-PA) comments about scapegoating Putin for the current American energy crisis. "Putin's much to blame here, but Putin did not cause this energy crisis that exists virtually worldwide and certainly for our country right now," the quote graphic read. NewsBusters captioned the post saying "Learn more how Joe Biden destroyed our energy independence, despite his constantly blaming of Putin: keystonedocumentary.org." Facebook claimed that the post was "missing context" and cited an AFP fact-check article that conflated the term "energy independence" with "energy isolation." MRC Free Speech America's research found that other experts and even other fact-checkers openly disagreed with AFP's evaluation of energy independence.
