CNN — President Joe Biden delivered his annual State of the Union address on Thursday. His statements were mostly accurate, a CNN fact check found, but he also made a smattering of claims that were false, misleading or lacking key context.
Biden repeated his familiar misleading boast about how he had supposedly reduced the federal budget deficit, failing to explain that the decline overwhelmingly occurred because emergency pandemic spending from President Donald Trump’s tenure expired as schedule. He falsely claimed that “not anymore” would big companies be able to pay no federal income tax, overstating the impact of the 15% corporate minimum tax he signed into law.
He misleadingly cited an alternative calculation from economists in his administration as if it was an actual federal tax rate paid by billionaires. And he left out context in discussing Covid-19 deaths, suggesting that far more deaths occurred during the Trump era than actually did.
Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama made few specific assertions of fact during her official Republican response to Biden’s address. But Britt did falsely say, in present tense, that inflation is at a 40-year low; it no longer is.
Here is a fact check of these claims and others.

Only fact was his name is Joe
He came across like the old videos of Hitler screaming his speeches,,,, but the other guy is the fascist.
-Riiiiiggghhtt!?!?!?!?!
Just take everything Brandon says and assume it is either a lie or projection, or both.
Biden is blivetous. Ten pounds of cow manure in a five pound sack.
I was thinking it was more like....hate-filled Biden did not want a Republican to
get even a nanosecond of facetime on his self-serving SOTU campaign scheme.
FACT:

“Facts” and Jumpin’ Joe Pedo (FJB) should never be used in the same sentence.
SO TRUE!!
(Sharing that....thx :)
“Most accurate.” Kind of like playing horseshoes or like getting a paycheck that is “mostly accurate.” Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyy is a friggin’ liar. Whatever happened to 100% ACCURATE like it was back in the days when America was GREAT?
With all the threads about the SOTU address last night, I think this following obvious observation was missing from ALL those reports.
Joey Biden has been an egotistical, arrogant, loud mouth, a@@hole HIS ENTIRE LIFE. Last night, did anybody with as little as half a functioning brain cell expect anything less?? He was an embarrassment and disrespectful. Hey, that’s just Joey being Joey. At least the POS is consistent.
Only thing about last night that stands out is that Joey WAS OBVIOUSLY HEAVILY DRUGGED and the entire world saw it. I’m just surprised he didn’t stroke out.
Coked up Biden told two big whoppers about J6:
1. There was no insurrection
2. The 2020 election was stolen.
What a joke. Fact checkers at CNN? - wouldn't be biased toward Biden, now would they?
Hmm.... “mostly accurate”... but with a smattering of bald-faced lies. What does that remind one of? Those “mostly peaceful” riots by the left, perhaps?
More BS parsing of words to describe the gaslighting being done by the Marxist Democrats. It’s a pattern.
The truth is... Biden didn’t make one statement in last night’s campaign speech that was not a lie. I challenge anyone to come up with one that was accurate. His threat to the USSC re: their ruling on Roe vs. Wade was despicable and more like what a dictator would do. And his taunting of the Republicans in the audience was anything “but” an act of unity. It was meant to be as divisive as it was.
Bottom line, the Democrats presented themselves clearly as the Party of Lies and of well-trained clapping seals in last night’s dismal performance. Only the truly brain-dead and those in-on-the-steals will approve.
Nice point, Liz. Very true.
“...he forgot that the Speaker was supposed to introduce him before his reading.”
Hardly. It was an intentional snub.

Thanks for helping to keep CNN in business. Every click counts.
I watched to see if he was going to announce the release of funds from the CHIPS act to Intel (New Albany, OH)
He didn’t and now we know why. DEI!
Their liberal “fact checks” are nothing more than softball criticisms which make it appear like CNN is being fair and balanced.
Their “fact checks” are about as useful as a football bat
