In this Friday, Feb. 26, 2021 file photo, Georgia House Democrats speak with Democratic Rep. Park Cannon, right, in Atlanta during a sit-in at the state capitol sparked by opposition to Republican proposals that would restrict voting. On Friday, March 5, 2021, The Associated Press reported on a video circulating online incorrectly asserting left-wing protesters stormed Georgia's Capitol building in Atlanta or engaged in an insurrection over a bill that would require photo ID for absentee voting. However, the Georgia Department of Public Safety confirmed to the AP that the protesters entered the state Capitol lawfully and remained peaceful, unlike the rioters in the violent Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington. 'No one was arrested,' spokesperson Franka Young wrote.

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories of the week.

ClaimVideo shows left-wing protesters storming Georgia's Capitol building in Atlanta or engaging in an insurrection over a bill that would require photo ID for absentee voting.

The FactsThere is no evidence that protests at Georgia's state Capitol on Feb. 26 amounted to a storming of the Capitol or an insurrection.Yet a video clip of the protest circulated widely on social media this week with claims exaggerating what happened. The 45-second clip showed a Georgia state trooper using a bullhorn to instruct protesters to disperse, citing a state law that allows arrests for disruptive protests at the Capitol. As the officer was speaking, Democratic Georgia Rep. Park Cannon approached him and put her ear up to the bullhorn, blocking it.Another officer moved her away by the arm, telling her to “step aside.” Cannon then engaged in an argument with the officers. Social media users on Monday likened the protest in the video to the violent siege of the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, which resulted in five deaths and hundreds of arrests.“Leftists STORM Georgia Capitol In Response to ID Required for Absentee Ballots,” conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza wrote in a headline alongside the video on the video-sharing website Rumble.Others on Twitter called the protest in the video an “insurrection” in tweets shared thousands of times. However, the Georgia Department of Public Safety confirmed to the AP that the protesters entered the state Capitol lawfully and remained peaceful, unlike the rioters in the violent Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington.“No one was arrested,” spokesperson Franka Young wrote.

ClaimHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi bought $1.5 million in “foreign oil stock” before President Joe Biden halted the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The FactsA post that circulated on Facebook falsely claimed Pelosi had bought foreign oil stock a day before President Joe Biden signed a Jan. 20 executive order revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. The 1,700-mile (2,735-kilometer) pipeline was planned to carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.“Well WELL WELL. PELOSI buys 1.5 m in foreign oil stock day before shutdown of american line,” said a post with the erroneous information, suggesting Pelosi committed insider trading.In fact, there is no record Pelosi bought significant stock shares recently. The House Speaker filed a Periodic Transaction Report on Jan. 21, 2021, which disclosed stock shares or call options made by her husband, Paul Pelosi. There are no oil companies listed on the form.

ClaimNasal swabs used for COVID tests contain Morgellons disease fibers that are being put in your brain when you are tested.

The FactsSince the pandemic was declared last year, posts online have falsely speculated that COVID-19 tests are being used to inject Americans with microchips, nanoparticles and now disease “fibers” into the brain.A recent TikTok video making the false claim was viewed more than 1.7 million times and liked more than 120,000 times. In the TikTok post, a woman plays a video on her computer screen that was first shared on Facebook in January.The woman claims the video shows a nurse who took apart a swab used in COVID-19 tests and found that the fibers were moving on their own because they were fibers from Morgellons disease. Morgellons sufferers say the condition appears as a crawling sensation on their skin or skin sores with fibers. She goes on to say that people administering COVID-19 tests are putting Morgellons fibers on patients' brains.But the claims in the video are false. The claim that the fibers from the COVID-19 test swab appear to be moving are undermined by the fact that the entire video shakes, suggesting the camera was moving.
