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.
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.
LIE 2: “Other than Herbert Hoover, [Donald Trump] is the only president who has lost more jobs than he created.”
The corollary lie.
Trump didn’t “lose” jobs; he was president during a global pandemic.
And liberals were thrilled to put people on government checks and shut down the world during COVID.
They cannot argue that the job market would have been any different in 2020 under a Democrat.
LIE 3: “Look at what he says he’s going to do if he gets elected. Says he’s going to do away with what I’ve done on Medicare, reducing the price of Medicare.”
There’s no basis for this, as Trump has said he “will never do anything that will hurt or jeopardize Social Security or Medicare.”
Further, Trump pursued the exact same executive orders to lower prescription drug prices as did Biden.
LIE 4: “You know we have 1,000 billionaires in America. Know what their average federal tax is? 8.3%.”
Factcheck.org notes, “The top 0.1% of earners, with more than $4.4 million in expanded cash income, pay an average rate of 25.1% in federal income and payroll taxes.”
LIE 5: “We’ve already turned it around [on the economy].”
Burnett quoted some tough figures on the economy, noting that the cost of buying a home had doubled, and “Real income when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office.”
Biden’s response?
Denial.

‘In a brief 17 minutes, Biden told 15 lies,’ editorial board claims
President Biden told a staggering number of whoppers when he spoke to CNN’s Erin Burnett this week, the New York Post wrote in a savage editorial this week.
The Post’s editorial board accused Biden of telling a "lie a minute" in an editorial featuring an image of the president morphing into Pinocchio.
The White House has come under pressure from news outlets, specifically The New York Times, for a lack of sit-down interviews with journalists willing to ask tough questions.
"Wednesday’s chat with CNN’s Erin Burnett shows why. In a brief 17 minutes, Biden told 15 lies — nearly a lie a minute," the editorial board wrote. "From whoppers about the economy to prevarications on Israel, Biden spun a fantasyland of a presidency that voters know is false."
The Post then listed the 15 alleged lies, starting with Biden’s claim that he created over 15 million jobs as president.
"Biden’s favorite falsehood, told over and over and over again no matter how many fact-checks call him out," the editorial board wrote.
"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," it continued. "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."
The Post’s editorial board accused Biden of lying about former President Trump losing more jobs than he created, which it called a "corollary lie." --->READ MORE HERE
