Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) was hit with a Community Note on X after echoing Donald Trump’s false claim that Walmart’s holiday price cuts prove the “Trump economy is working.” Mullin was attempting to counter Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene who has refused to play along with the GOP narrative on the economy.

Appearing on Fox News, Mullin said the Walmart CEO told him grocery prices were “down across the board” and repeated Trump’s boast about Walmart’s lower priced Thanksgiving basket. However, fact-checkers quickly noted that Walmart’s special Thanksgiving basket, which the company has promoted as cheaper than last year, includes 11 fewer items, making the comparison misleading.
