Joe Biden on Monday tried to defend his inaction on criminal justice reform during a NBC News town hall.
Joe Biden falsely claimed “18,000 people got clemency” while he was Vice President.
Actually, 18,000 were *denied* clemency while he was Vice President.
Of course NBC town hall host Lester Holt didn’t push back on Biden’s lies. Shocker!

Does it matter what he says?
There are no consequences except maybe on youtube or twitter before they are taken down?
He can say obama and him created 100 million jobs...without msm calling him out...our best weapon was social media..and now they are trying to shut us down.
Best we can do is let everyone that we personally know hear the truth.
And I still post the truths to social media and i’m not important so they’re not taken down :)
That statement gives too much credit to Holt. Lester Holt is low-IQ and ignorant too. He does know enough to push back on Biden's lies. It is also the root cause of Holt's left-wing views. He's purely just another token on TV.
He just left out the word “denied” is all. Don’t expect anybody to call him out on that.
Biden falsely claims: it’s what he does
So you were off by 36,000 Joe. Can you see how that number was arrived at?
We used to call this a LIE!!
It doesn’t matter
I’m reasonably sure Joe doesn’t remember last week, let alone what he and bammy did years ago.
It is so reassuring America may soon be headed by a senile old man and sidekick woman from hell.
Thank you.
If 18,000 people were denied clemency and a different 18,000 were granted clemency, then Biden didn't lie.
Does anybody know how many were granted clemency?
“”He does know enough to push back on Biden’s lies.””
He does - then why doesn’t he?
But the people hearing that won’t know it’s a lie, or will know it a still spread it.
Sorry, typo. Does not
Around 1700 granted clemency, over 18,000 denied.

[scroll down to Obama]
Since when does the Vice President of the United States have the power to grant clemency?
