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

What are you saying? That Biden is such a sly and clever fox that he's
somehow figured out that the 9% we're currently experiencing was really
the actual rate on the day of his inauguration THREE AND A HALF YEARS

You're complaining about the inflation rate "when Biden took office".

No, I didn't complain about what the rate was when Bide took office at
all. I pointed out that Biden is LYING about the inflation rate when he
took office. It was really only 1.4% but he's saying it was 9% so it
doesn't look like he let things get out of control during his term.

Well, CNN seems more or less to agree with you:

 It’s scary how blatantly Biden is lying when CNN calls him out on it.

Actually, I partly believe that he partly believes he speaks truth.
