The White House rarely allows President Biden to sit down for interviews, and Wednesday’s chat with CNN’s Erin Burnett shows why.
In a brief 17 minutes, Biden told 15 lies — nearly a lie a minute.
From whoppers about the economy to prevarications on Israel, Biden spun a Fantasyland of a presidency that voters know is false.
Here’s a rundown:
LIE 1: “I’ve created over 15 million jobs since I’ve been president.”Biden’s favorite falsehood, told over and over and over again no matter how many fact-checks call him out
He took office at the tail end of a pandemic that blew a hole in the economy, when lockdown policies wholeheartedly endorsed by Democrats took people out of the office and onto COVID stimulus checks.
He “created” nothing — after the introduction of the vaccine, people returned to the workforce. If anything, Biden’s policies slowed the recovery — it took until July 2022 for the US economy to regain all the jobs lost due to the pandemic.
