President Joe Biden spent three days this week campaigning in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. He littered his remarks with false and misleading claims on subjects ranging from his annual earnings to his cap on seniors’ prescription drug spending to the demographics of China to the frequency of his past travel to Iraq and Afghanistan.
And in Biden’s most eyebrow-raising remarks of the campaign swing, he told and then retold a story in which he strongly suggested his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down while he fought in World War II. Biden’s dramatic details don’t match the Defense Department’s official account of the plane crash.
Here is a fact check of eight of Biden’s Pennsylvania remarks.

FTA——In the same Tuesday speech in Scranton, Biden repeated his usual promise that nobody making less than $400,000 per year will pay even a cent more in taxes under his proposals. He then added, “I hope you’re all able to make $400,000. I never did.”
Facts First: Biden’s “I never did” claim is false.
In fact, his presidential salary is $400,000 per year; the joint tax filings of President Biden and first lady Jill Biden showed $619,976 in income last year, $579,514 in 2022 and $610,702 in 2021.
In addition, Biden earned millions in 2017 and 2018, when, during his time as a private citizen following his vice presidency, he and Jill Biden signed a lucrative book deal and he delivered paid speeches. The Bidens’ joint tax filings showed a total of about $11 million in 2017 income and about $4.6 million in 2018 income.
Biden, who was a US senator for 36 years prior to his vice presidency, did regularly earn less than $400,000 per year before 2017. As PolitiFact has previously noted, the Bidens’ joint filings reported less than $400,000 in income in each year from 1998 through 2016 except for 2013, when they were just over $407,000.
I hate that this arsehole is wandering around in my state.
Brandon spread misinformation ?
CNN - just like the broken clock or the blind squirrel…must be a ploy to increase their audience share from zero!
AS Joe dared to say on stage at the 2020 debate, “character is on the ballot” —character lost.
But they say nothing about Biden’s nonsense and lies.
He’s, Trump, he’s Trump, he’s Trump, he’s in there heads.
CNN speaking truth is what’s ‘news’ here.
CNN’s content squeezes out alright. Just not from the tube.

Even though it’s been doing the same for thousands of years, even during both Obama administratrations and now Biden? They are the science party , aren’t they? “It’s the science.”
A regular bunch of Einsteins.
Today’s Biden Blatherings.
Teetered up to the lectern, lied his ass off, and led away by handlers.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Biden is a demented sociopathic liar at this point he beleives even lies about his family are true.
So that means Biden is a liar, right? When will they start keeping a list like they did for Trump then?
