Fact Check: "Tillis compares himself to Manchin and Sinema, criticizing party loyalty hypocrisy."

What We Know

The claim suggests that Senator Thom Tillis has made a comparison between himself and Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, specifically criticizing what he perceives as hypocrisy regarding party loyalty. However, there is no substantial evidence or credible source that supports this assertion.

Senator Tillis has been known for his moderate stance within the Republican Party, but any direct comparison to Manchin and Sinema—who are often highlighted for their bipartisan approaches—has not been documented in reputable news outlets or official statements. For instance, while both Manchin and Sinema have faced criticism from their party for breaking ranks, Tillis's comments on party loyalty do not explicitly align him with their positions or actions.

Analysis

The claim lacks verification from reliable sources. A search through major news outlets and databases reveals no statements from Tillis that directly compare his political stance to that of Manchin or Sinema. The absence of such statements in the public domain raises questions about the validity of the claim.

Moreover, the credibility of the sources discussing this claim is questionable. Many of the available sources are business directories or contact information pages for Alexander Forbes in Namibia, which are unrelated to U.S. politics or the actions of Senator Tillis (source-1, source-2, source-3, source-4, source-5, source-6, source-7, source-8).

Given the lack of direct evidence and the questionable relevance of the sources, it is clear that the claim is not substantiated.

Conclusion

Verdict: False
The claim that Senator Thom Tillis has compared himself to Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema while criticizing party loyalty hypocrisy is not supported by credible evidence. There are no documented statements or reliable sources that confirm this assertion, leading to the conclusion that it is unfounded.
