Biden's lies and gaffes

 Mike Miller:

Every time Joe Biden makes another gaffe, keyboard warriors across America rush to slap up the “news” about the latest stupid crap that comes out of his mouth. But it isn’t Biden’s never-ending gaffes that matter; it’s his blatant lies that are detrimental to the American people, yet Biden appears unfazed by that reality.

Biden’s recent “Where’s Jackie?” gaffe was a perfect example.

Biden scanned the White House crowd on Wednesday, looking for Indiana Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski, who was killed with three others in an August 3 head-on collision, including two members of her congressional staff. Embarrassing? It should be. Newsworthy — from a journalistic perspective? Hardly.

Daniel Greenfield, Shillman Journalism Fellow at David Horowitz Freedom Center, shared his spot-on take of Biden in a recent Front Page Magazine column:

What’s really telling about Biden’s “Where’ Jackie” moment isn’t that he forgot that Rep. Jackie Walorski is dead. Or that she died fairly recently. What is telling is that the Biden administration has gone into defense mode, spinning obvious lies to pretend that we didn’t hear what we heard.

There’s not much in the way of a mystery about Biden. Trump has had multiple books written about him. There isn’t enough there about Biden to fill even half a book. But there is one mystery which is how out of it is he. Biden’s version of Trump’s chaos and madman theory is to keep people guessing how senile he really is.

His functioning can vary quite a bit. Republicans tend to underestimate his functionality while Democrats overestimate it. The truth is between him, his wife and his doctors. But the bottom line is that he’s not fit to hold office. And yet he and his handlers are determined to run for another term. No matter how implausible that may seem.

The real issue is Biden’s blatant lying. 

As Biden continues to lie with reckless abandon and without conscience, seemingly about anything, the Federalist in March published a list of Biden’s lies since becoming president, which was updated on September 23. Here are several:

Biden Pretends Inflation Isn’t Hurting Everyday Americans

During his “60 Minutes” interview with Scott Pelley on Sept. 18, Biden argued inflation is not as bad as it seems.

“Let’s put this in perspective,” Biden said. “Inflation rate month to month was up just an inch. Hardly at all.”

“You’re not arguing that 8.3 is good news?” Pelley asked, noting that the annual inflation rate for August was up 0.1 percent from July and more than 8 percent since the same time last year.

“No, I’m not saying it’s good news, but it was 8.2 or 8.2 before. You’re making it sound like all of a sudden, my God, it went to 8.2 percent,” Biden said.

As Pelley noted, “It’s been the highest inflation rate, Mr. President, in 40 years.” Americans are struggling to pay their grocery and energy bills, which have cost hundreds of extra dollars compared to previous years.

“I got that,” Biden retorted. “But guess what we are. We’re in a position where, for the last several months, it hasn’t spiked. It is just barely, it has been basically even.”

Miller provides more Biden lies.  What is as worrying as his lies is the willingness of the media to go along with them.  You rarely see a liberal fake check of his false statements.
