Snopes got nuked so hard for their 'false' rating about Biden's hard hat they changed it to 'true'

Earlier this week, Sen. Amy Klobuchar tweeted a completely genuine (cue eye roll) photo of herself with President Biden in Wisconsin. Biden was wearing a hard hat and it caught plenty of attention:

Nothing like having a beer with some great union workers and ⁦yes, that would be @JoeBiden⁩ in Superior, Wisconsin. ⁦@AFLCIO⁩ pic.twitter.com/caMGiRXjPe

It was pointed out that the president they try so hard to portray as "working class Joe" had the hard hat on backward:

pwned. What an embarrassment. They are laughing at him. pic.twitter.com/m0Mc3juBkK

As we told you earlier today, the so-called "fact-checkers" at Snopes tried to come to the rescue by ruling claims that Biden was wearing the hard hat backward as "false."

Snopes fact-check: "Biden wore a hard hat backwards" is misinformation

Their fact-check got fact-checked, and since then @Oilfield_Rando has helped even more with a simple video. Maybe Snopes should have consulted him before embarrassing themselves again:

Hi @snopes here’s an explainer on hard hats pic.twitter.com/qiH328nfSw

They tried.

This is a perfect explainer.

The people defending Joe are the same who don't understand why anyone would need a truck. Remember them? https://t.co/0PkWdYd6VK

Then, after getting ratioed into the sun, guess what happened next at Snopes:

It's so on-brand for these "fact-checkers" to issue a ruling first and then be informed about the facts later.

Wonder how many other "fact checks" would fall apart in the face of similar scrutiny.....

Perfect.

Why would anyone check Snopes for anything.

It’s baffling to me that not a single one of Biden’s handlers told him to turn that hat around because he looked like an idiot. They just let him fail.

It was because the back of the hat had the American flag sticker and they wanted to showcase Biden being patriotic in a blue collar situation.
