Of the many falsehoods, exaggerations, and evasions President Joe Biden uttered in his ABC News interview that aired over the weekend, one went completely overlooked.
Biden might not have looked senile in his 20-minute sit-down talk with "Journalist" George Stephanopoulos, but he didn't assuage anyone who doubts his ability to tell fact from fiction.
"One thing I'm proudest of," he said, "Is, remember when my economic plan was put forward, a lot of the mainstream economists said it's not going to work. Well, guess what? We now have 16 Nobel laureates, 16 of them in economics, saying Biden's next term would be - based on what he wants to do, an enormous success." We've already noted in this space that 13 of those 16 economists predicted that Biden's "American Rescue Plan" would cut inflationary pressures, so their promise about his next four years should be considered equally worthless.
It's the first part of that quotation that is the lie, compounded by the fact that it directly contradicts an equally audacious lie Biden told in 2021.
Here's what Biden was telling the public when he was selling the American Rescue Plan in 2021.
Even the leftist Politifact labeled this claim as "Mostly false." Now Biden is claiming that, despite opposition from mainstream economists, he pressed ahead with his spending spree, and the results have been so magnificent that 16 Nobel economists are now backing his reelection.
If Biden's name was Donald Trump, you can bet this series of lies would be front-page news.
