This claim has zero backing to it. They are stating that modern politicians create outrage. In the link provided Joa Walsh claims that "it's all to be outrage." He gives zero evidence for his own claim on X. This is also not a very good cite to back evidence on. Most posts on X are personal and only there to get their message and opinion out to their audience. Joe Walsh was a former congressman. This claim that politicians only cause it to me makes no sense. With the elections just being over the country was in a huge split. There is going to be outrage. This is warned for those who are not happy. This comes with being a politician, especially today.

This claim is incredibly unreliable because the source is a post on X from a user, Joe Walsh, and it has no evidence to support the claim ("politicians are creating outrage") aside from a video with little context. It's unclear who the people in the video are, and they provide no statistics or hard facts to back up their claim. It is all based on opinion. After looking at Joe Walsh's profile, it appears that his account is used to push his own political ideals. And I believe that the person talking in the video might be Joe Walsh, further proving that his claim doesn't have a connection with outside sources. While it's possible that this claim may have some truth to it, the source is completely unreliable and the claim is an opinion since there is no evidence aside from what Joe Walsh is claiming - a quick and somewhat vague statement about outrage in politicians.

This is a great factcheck: you examined the source and the unclear aspects of the video and identified that opinion claims without any solid evidence, regardless of potential truth, can't be true or false.
