For the second time in a week, President Joe Biden made a false claim about
inflation-- and he did not get away with it as journalists and political
rivals called him out on it.
 
Biden told Yahoo Finance in an interview on Tuesday that inflation was at 9%
when he became president back in January 2021.
 
However, as fact-checkers pointed out when Biden made the same assertion
during a CNN town hall last week, inflation actually was at 1.4% when he
took office.

But Trump is the one who lies all the time. We should vote for Biden

The latest gaffe by the president

It's not a gaffe. A gaffe is an unintentional mistake. This is an
intentional bald-faced lie. And so is the media downplaying it as a mere
gaffe. Biden is lying and the media is lying about his lies.

Biden's team knows what the inflation rate was when Biden took office
and they're intentionally lying about it because they know that the
grocery bill is something that Mr. & Mrs. Middle America are going to
vote on.

It's also something the President doesn't have real control over. They
can help influence it but other than doing something drastic like
entering a world war it's not under their control.
