He lies about everything, as recently as yesterday saying inflation is down when it's not. It just increased at a slower pace but still went up. He says inflation was 9% when he took office. Again, not true. It was 1.4%. He said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Here's just a few other things Fabricated tale of getting arrested for trying to see Nelson Mandela: Biden has been accused of lying about being arrested in the 1970s for trying to visit Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned in South Africa. In reality, Biden has admitted that he never met Mandela or was arrested for trying to visit him. Claim about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11: Biden has been accused of lying about being at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, the day after the 9/11 attacks. In reality, Biden did not visit Ground Zero until nine days after the attacks. False claim about his family’s background: Biden has been accused of lying about his family’s background, specifically claiming that he was the first in his family to attend college. In reality, his maternal grandfather attended Santa Clara University, and his own father spent a year at Johns Hopkins University. Lies about the economy and inflation: Biden has been accused of lying about the state of the economy and inflation, claiming that prices are not rising and that the economy is strong. In reality, inflation has been rising, and many Americans are struggling to make ends meet. False claims about Israel and Hamas: Biden has been accused of lying about Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, claiming that Israel was engaging in “indiscriminate bombing” when in reality, Israel was responding to Hamas rocket attacks. Lies about his own record and accomplishments: Biden has been accused of lying about his own record and accomplishments, including his time as Vice President and his presidency. False claims about the border surge and immigration: Biden has been accused of lying about the border surge and immigration, claiming that the surge is “seasonal” and that his administration is doing everything it can to address the issue. Lies about his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings: Biden has been accused of lying about his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including his involvement with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Most all of these sound like easily refutable right wing talking points. Especially the hunter biden laptop, where has this been covered by a legit news source? I thought it was debunked as a disinformation campaign.
He tried passing legislation to help the border crisis but the Republicans killed it.
It's been covered by all of the Conservative/Republican news networks, and it was entered into evidence in Hunters gun trial. They used it to help convict him. He did try passing legislation on the border but it was legislation that would have just increased the traffic coming across. The purpose of that bill was to help process them faster. It didn't do anything to secure the border and stop the flow. Republicans passes a bill long before that one that would have actually secured it and shut it down but Dems stopped it in the Senate.
