Trump is fact-checked after claiming white people are being denied COVID vaccines at raucous Arizona rally

In Florence, Arizona Trump accused Democrats of 'rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race'

He called on the Supreme Court to investigate what he called a 'flagrant civil rights violation' in New York state health policy

In reality the health policy says that nonwhite race or Hispanic ethnicity 'should be considered a risk factor' when needing to ration COVID antiviral pills

Utah and Minnesota have similar guidelines, based on longstanding inequities  

Donald Trump falsely declared in his Arizona rally that public health authorities are denying the COVID-19 vaccine to white people because of their race, an Associated Press fact check stated on Sunday.

The former president made racially-charged remarks that twisted facts and exaggerated the effects of racially conscious COVID antiviral treatment guidelines in New York.

'The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating -- just, denigrating -- white people to determine who lives and who dies. If you're white you don't get the vaccine or if you're white you don't get therapeutics,' Trump said in Florida, Arizona on Saturday evening.

'It's unbelievable to think this. And nobody wants this. Black people don't want it, white people don't want it, nobody wants it.'

The crowd applauded his remarks. 

'In New York state, if you're white, you have to go to the back of the line to get medical health -- think of it, if you're white you go right to the back of the line,' Trump said as a few boos could be heard. 

Trump made a number of bombastic remarks during his first rally of 2022 in Florence, Arizona
