Fact check: Biden makes at least four false statistical claims at CNN town hall
CNN ^ | Daniel Dale

Joe Biden took questions from Wisconsin residents and from Anderson Cooper at a CNN town hall event in Milwaukee on Tuesday night.

We're still looking into some of the claims Biden made, so this article is not comprehensive. But we can tell you now that he made at least four false claims -- all of them involving statistics -- about the minimum wage, undocumented immigrants, China's economy and Covid-19 vaccinations. Biden also made claims that could have benefited from some additional context, that he acknowledged he might not have gotten right or that there is not solid evidence for. Here is a breakdown:

CNN did all it could to help the Democrat Party cover up the stolen election.

Now the Democrat Party is preparing for a President Harris.

The soft coup is about to enter its final act.

Has CNN even posted the whole thing yet? They initially tried to hide it.

If he’s talking, he’s lying, or, mentally confused

Only four? It’s usually twenty four.

The media turned on Jimmy Carter thru Ted Koppell’s “America Held Hostage”. It won’t happen here because they won’t have to. The 25th amendment.

“Biden also made claims that could have benefited from some additional context, that he acknowledged he might not have gotten right or that there is not solid evidence for. “

Contrast this to “Trump’s lies”.

The media is the mouthpiece of the enemy.
That makes them the enemy also.

This is the beginning of the end of Biden. It’s going to be a drip, drip, drip as other outlets brave the waters too.

The reason? They want an even more liberal President in Harris. To the Dems, only 2 states matter: California & New York. They’re calling the shots through Pelosi & Schumer. In (Californian) Harris, they think they’ll have a (2024) winning combo of black, female, Democrat-socialist.

The 25th Amendment won't be necessary. Jill will have a little heart-to-heart with him at some point and he will quietly and gracefully exit. The media will call him a hero, praise his humility, and usher in Kamala with great fanfare. The first woman president!

His ‘humility’ will be contrasted with Trump's “intransigence” and “arrogance” and the narrative will sadly stick. This is Orwell's 1984 on steroids.

I still contend the handoff will be jan 21 2023 so Harris can have 10 years.

It all depends on how long they can hide his dementia and how long he is still useful.

His physical limit for speeches seems to be 20 minutes. The SOTU on the 23rd will be interesting.

Again CNN.com delutes and explains away Biden’s statements.
