The meme: Liberals say the 1956 (old-school!) Republican platform was liberal:
1. Provide federal assistance to low-income communities;
2. Protect Social Security;
3. Provide asylum for refugees;
4. Extend minimum wage;
5. Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people;
6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union;
7. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.

Politifact says: "The claim is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True."
