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

— Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) January 25, 2024

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

— Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) January 27, 2024

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:

HAHAHA! "Fact-checker," y'all.

Snopes changed Joe Biden backwards hard hat to TRUE We did it, X! 😆👍 pic.twitter.com/7QWawpeKNz

They just changed it! pic.twitter.com/rpsUgRGYXp

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.

that picture should become the most published of the entire campaign. it just encapsulates everything about working men and the ruling class leftists who want to manipulate them.

Everybody makes mistakes - but they’re not mistakes if they nonrandomly assist one side or harm the other. This “mistake” shined Biden in a better light than he earned or deserved, so this one definitely helped the left.

Does any collect statistics on this?

For some strange reason I think the “mistakes” Snopes makes are probaly nonrandom - which, if true, would make them deliberate fraud rather than accidental errors.

The funniest comment was, “ Biden had to wear the hard hat backwards because the front of it had a Trump sticker on it”.

Joe-zo has also recently begun to notice that his sunglasses no longer seem to provide much protection from all that sun glare.

Biden had his hard hat on properly. It was the LINER that was backwards. Often used to show off newbee workers to others.

Doesn’t look that way to me. Hard hats aren’t rounded like that on the front...at least the ones I wore for years weren’t.

The hat was not on backwards. Biden has two faces. This was the one in back.
