“Thanks to the insane tax-and-spending spree of President Joe Biden and Democrats in Washington, we are seeing six straight months of raging inflation.”
PolitiFact says: Most of the government spending came before Biden took office. And not only have there not been tax hikes, if there had been, that would tend to reduce inflation pressures.
“Arizona and Georgia now have the proof,” Joe Biden is “not our elected president!”
PolitiFact says: Lawsuits, recounts and audits have not produced evidence to change Biden’s election, or his close wins in Arizona and Georgia.
“An image shows President Joe Biden touching Olivia Rodrigo’s shoulders during a White House press briefing.”
PolitiFact says: Biden did not appear at the press briefing.
“Joe Biden will never veto a bill. He’ll go down in history as a president who has never vetoed a bill, cause he will sign whatever Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi put on his desk. ... They’re running the show.”
FactCheck.org says: When presidents enjoy a unified government, meaning the same party controls the House, Senate and White House, they rarely veto legislation.
“In my first four months in office, more than two million jobs have been created. That’s more than double the rate of my predecessor, and more than eight times the rate of President Reagan.”
Washington Post says: The Fact Checker automatically assigns Two Pinocchios for claims that a president is responsible for job growth. Too many factors are beyond a president's control.
“Two members of the Senate," Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, "voted more with my Republican friends" than with the president from their own party.”
PolitiFact says: Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema support the continued use of the Senate’s filibuster rule, which imperils key elements of Biden’s agenda. But on actual votes, both Manchin and Sinema backed Biden 100% of the time.
“The April jobs report shows that Joe Biden is squandering the economic recovery he inherited from President Trump and Republicans in Congress.”
FactCheck.org says: The average pace of job gains has been far greater in the first three months under Biden than it was in the three months before he took office.
“Video shows President Joe Biden saying: "No one should have to choose between a job and a paycheck.”
FactCheck.org says: President Joe Biden said, "No one should have to choose between a job and a paycheck or taking care of themselves and their loved ones." Partisan social media posts used only the first part of that statement.
“Human trafficking and drugs” at the Mexico border have “doubled, tripled and quadrupled” since Joe Biden became president.”
PolitiFact says: Experts say it takes time after someone enters the U.S. for them to be subjected to sex or labor trafficking, and there aren’t statistics yet for Biden’s presidency. The number of drug seizure events is up 11%.
“Video shows President Joe Biden saying "bingo" after a reporter says: “To gun owners out there who say, well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns.”
FactCheck.org says: The video leaves out Biden's full answer, which makes clear he was referring only to the purchase of semi-automatic firearms, or so-called assault weapons.
“President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposal “is fully paid for. Across 15 years, it would raise all of the revenue needed for these once-in-a-lifetime investments.”
PolitiFact says: Two independent analyses back up the notion that the new spending will be evened out by the new revenue raised under the plan after 15 years.
“President Joe Biden’s corporate tax rate increase would "put us in line with other industrial nations.”
PolitiFact says: Biden’s proposed new tax rate for corporations would be either the top rate or in the top one-fifth of rates, depending on which metric you use.
“The proposal by President Joe Biden would put the U.S. “No. 2 in the world” for the highest corporate tax rate.”
PolitiFact says: At least 19 countries would still have a higher corporate tax rate, when national and sub-national tax rates are combined. However, most of these countries are small.
“President Joe Biden reversed the Trump administration's immigration policies, resulting in a “460% spike in illegal apprehensions, over 100,000 people in custody.”
FactCheck.org says: Comparing Trump’s last full month in office in December (71,047) to Biden’s first full month in office in February (96,974), apprehensions have risen 36% — not 460%.
“We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when I was a senator. It passed. It was the law for the longest time. And it brought down these mass killings.”
Washington Post says: For years, the 1994 law was seen as largely ineffective. But new research bolsters the argument that the ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines had an impact on mass shootings.
“Video “proves 100% that President Joe Biden is not a ‘human’ being.”
“The relief bill signed by President Joe Biden "punished the states that opened earlier, and it rewarded the states that stayed closed the longest.”
PolitiFact says: Experts say that no method for targeting aid to the states is perfect; each has pluses and minuses. Preliminary academic research shows that government policies on reopening had only a modest impact on unemployment.
