No, U.S. House candidate Hillary Scholten hasn't “dismissed destruction and praised rioters.” The claim was made by a super PAC helping elect Republicans to Congress, citing a Facebook post she made the day after protests against police brutality in 2020.

"Our community will struggle to rebuild from the ongoing crisis brought on by the coronavirus, and last night’s destruction will make that even more difficult," that post continued."People can and should continue to speak out for George and all victims of violence. I'm pleading with those who take to the streets to make that effort peaceful and to not resort to violence and destruction.", from that same day. In that one, she referenced a Facebook post by state Sen.
But to use that solely as the basis for a claim that Scholten"dismissed the destruction and praised the rioters" is incorrect. At no point in any of these posts did Scholten directly do either. And the Congressional Leadership Fund has offered no additional proof of the claim.
