misleading — Trust Score 52/100

This post is misleading because it uses a misattributed video to represent a real event. While massive protests against Jared Kushner's resort project are refuted by 10 sources in Albania as of June 2026, the video in this post actually shows a crowd in Italy singing the theme song to the cartoon 'Occhi di gatto' (Cat's Eye).

Claims analyzed (4)

  1. verified: A massive rally is taking place in Albania.
    Multiple international news outlets confirm that thousands of Albanians have been protesting in Tirana and coastal areas since late May 2026.
  2. verified: The rally is directed against Jared Kushner.
    The protests are specifically targeting a $1.4 billion luxury resort development on Sazan Island and Zvërnec led by Jared Kushner's firm, Affinity Partners.
  3. verified: The rally is occurring currently (relative to June 5, 2026).
    Protests began on May 31, 2026, and have continued daily through June 4, 2026, with further demonstrations planned.
  4. false: The video provided depicts the anti-Kushner rally in Albania.
    The video is misattributed. The audio features the Italian theme song 'Occhi di gatto' and the footage matches a viral video of a crowd in Italy (likely Naples or Milan) from a previous year, which has been flagged as out-of-context by fact-checkers.
