www.cnn.com ^ | 3/25/21 | Multiple writers

(CNN)President Joe Biden held the first formal news conference of his presidency on Thursday, taking questions in the East Room of the White House on immigration, foreign policy, the Senate filibuster, his political future and other subjects.

Here is a fact check of some of the claims he made.

Here's a look at our recent fact checks.

Migrant families and the border Defending his approach to migration at the southern border, Biden claimed that "we're sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming." Facts First: This was not true in February, the last month for which we have full data.

TOPICS: Society
KEYWORDS: factcheck; wrong
Pigs are flying tonight as CNN rates most of what they wrote about as not true from Biden's press conference. The one item they did not judge was his lengthy stay in the US Senate. Perhaps they thought he might be telling the truth when he said he was there 120 years.

No big deal - they know he’s not long for the job, and a bit of faux-opposition from them will allow them to claim they’re tough on both parties, while at the same time they help grease the skids for Kameltoe.

How they treat her will take us back to Obama days.

If CNN was actually intent on ‘news’ rather than their Marxist agenda, maybe they would discontinue their’fact check’ bullsheit,
But NO.

"households earning $25,000 or less will receive an average tax cut of $2,800"

This is a total lie.

People making 25K per year pay virtually NO federal taxes.

They may get refunds, or EITC checks, which are provided courtesy of people who DO pay the majority of taxes.

And BTW, the top 1% don't "get most of the benefits", they just pay less in already high taxes.

They don't receive a check from Uncle Sam.

I'm not in the 1%, and I get creamed by taxes.

I also didn't qualify for any stimmy checks.

I'm too "rich".

Phony and scripted. They coordinated the fact checks and the timing with the Democrats as a straw man prop as a resource to defend against future lawsuits and to buttress their future attacks on Republicans. Every last word was vetted by Biden’s puppet masters well before release.

Me neither, and I didn't even get a "Thank You" from everybody else who got checks.
