House Republicans unveiled a list of policy goals called the “Commitment to America” in September. But a fabricated screenshot purporting to show the agenda has been circulating on social media.

In the run-up to the midterm elections, House Republicans released a policy agenda on Sept. 23 called “Commitment to America,” broadly presenting the party’s positions on the economy, crime, health, government accountability and other issues.

But a bogus screenshot purporting to show the Republicans’ agenda has been circulating on social media.

The screenshot replicates the GOP’s “Commitment” logo, but the text included in the screenshot doesn’t match anything on the official website describing the plan.

Mark Bednar, spokesman for House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, told us in an email that “those are fabricated images with false information.”

The phony screenshot has been shared on many of the major platforms, including Twitter and Instagram.
