After Biden Tells a Disgraceful Lie – The MSM Slams Joe with 1 Brutal Announcement
Last week, Biden told CNN that “[n]o president’s had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% percent when I came to office, 9%.”
In reality, inflation stood at 1.4% in January of 2021 and reached a high of 9.1% in June of 2022, during Biden’s term.
Biden’s comments drew rebuke and fact checks from several news outlets. Even far-left Snopes rated the claim “False” while normally Biden-friendly CNN observed that “Biden’s claim… is not close to true.”
The Washington Post fact-checker meanwhile, gave Biden “four pinocchios” for the claim, which the Post defines as a “whopper.”
No, Biden wasn’t making a “gaffe.” He told two outlets—CNN and Yahoo Finance—that he inherited 9% inflation. That is an outright lie anyone can see if they bother to fact-check. The country had very low inflation under Trump of just 1.4% when Biden took over.
Inflation started thanks to Biden’s policies and reached a staggering 9% in June of 2022. For Biden to repeat this false claim twice was a bridge too far for several media outlets. Snopes—a left-wing run fact-checking site—called the claim “False.” CNN hit Biden by saying it was “not close to true.”
The Washington Post gave Biden “four pinocchios” for the lie and called it a “whopper.”
But that was just the beginning. Biden claimed he lowered the deficit by “1.7 trillion dollars.” Social network X fact-checked this, revealing this “reduction” was the result of pandemic spending automatically ending, not action by Biden. Washington Post gave Biden a “bottomless pinocchio” over this claim.
Biden also said he reduced gas prices from over $5/gallon when he took office. The average gas price when he took office was $2.33/gallon. Again, CNN blasted Biden for this claim. Gas prices have been one of Joe’s biggest failures, thanks to his anti-fossil fuel agenda.
How many more times will Biden say something so wildly untrue, that the liberal media will have to penalize him?
