“In a video obtained by The Post, the so-called progressive union activist uses the slur against another man while driving through San Francisco with some friends in the car.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies the source as 'The Post' and describes the video content. While the web search results confirm the existence of reports regarding a homophobic slur and a video, the specific details (video obtained by The Post, slur used against another man while driving through San Francisco) are not independently corroborated by multiple distinct sources provided in the evidence. The evidence is heavily focused on the *admission* of the slur, not the specific video details.
