President Joe Biden says the US has made “historic progress” on the economy in the last 10 months.
In a speech before Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday in the US, he also talked about price rises and supply chain problems.
We have been looking into some of Mr Biden’s claims.
Seeking to deflect the significance of Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s loss in the Virginia governor’s race to Republican Glenn Youngkin, President Joe Biden wrongly claimed that “no governor in Virginia has ever won when … he or she is the same party as the sitting president.”
While Youngkin has expressed support for the bills that McAuliffe vetoed, neither bill would ban books and Youngkin has not expressed support for doing so elsewhere.
On Thursday night amid multiple crises of his administration’s creation, President Joe Biden joined CNN for a town hall event hosted by Anderson Cooper and it went about as well as you could expect for a septuagenarian up past his bed time.
I just sued Facebook.
I didn’t want to sue. I hate lawsuits. I tried for a year to reach someone at Facebook to fix things, but Facebook wouldn’t.
Biden is misrepresenting the text of the February 2020 agreement.
Throughout the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, which began in mid-August and wrapped up just before midnight Tuesday in that nation’s capital, President Joe Biden made many comments that later proved to be inaccurate.
“There is *zero evidence* that Biden ‘used to drive an 18 wheeler,’” tweeted the RNC’s Zach Parkinson. “The extent of Biden’s trucking experience is that he **rode in** a truck once, for one night in 1973 (he made sure to return home by plane though).”
CLAIM: The Supreme Court, among other courts, heard the challenges to the 2020 presidential election results, twice.
VERDICT: FALSE. The Supreme Court declined to hear the election challenges, and never considered the evidence.
Occasionally, though, there is a glimmer of veracity among the dross, as happened last week when both the Washington Post and Politifact rated President Biden’s statements of June 23 as unconditionally “false.”
