Ilhan Omar was "fact checked" for correctly noting the McDonald's median worker pay is $7,000, which she contrasted against the $21.8 million made by the McDonalds CEO.

Politifact decided that if you only look at full time workers in the US, they make $12,200.

So it's $12,200 vs $21.8 million instead of $7,000 vs $21.8 million.

Nothing she said was incorrect, nothing about the "correction" changed the overall thrust of her point. But Politifact still rated it mostly false.
