A post shared on Facebook claims actor Kurt Russell said, “It is now proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden CHEATED in the 2020 election with mail-in ballots.”

Verdict: False

There is no evidence he said this. This quote has been misattributed in the past.

Fact Check: 

After avoiding the question in the past, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance said that he does not believe former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, according to Al-Jazeera. He made this statement at a Williamsport, Pennsylvania rally on Wednesday while answering questions from reporters, the outlet reported.

A Facebook post claims Russell said that there is solid proof of 2020 election fraud. The post reads, “Hollywood Actor Kurt Russell just said: ‘It is now proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden CHEATED in the 2020 election with mail-in ballots.’”

This claim is baseless. It originates from an account called @MelaniaTrumpo which identifies itself as parody in both its title and bio. There are no credible news reports about Russell saying this. (RELATED: Does Using Sharpies on Election Ballots Invalidate Your Vote?)

Check Your Fact previously debunked the claim that actor Mark Wahlberg had made the same statement. The quote appears to have actually been taken, with some minor modifications, from a post by conservative commentator Candance Owens in 2021. “It has now been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris CHEATED in the 2020 election with mail-in ballots,” the post reads. “The Democrats, in collusion with Big Tech and state TV, were the real insurrectionists all along.”

It has now been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris CHEATED in the 2020 election with mail-in ballots.
The Democrats, in collusion with Big Tech and state TV, were the real insurrectionists all along. #Maricopa #Fulton https://t.co/llOcXmk0XQ
