As rampant inflation continues to kick Americans in the teeth, the Biden administration can’t stop doing victory laps over how much they’ve ‘accomplished’ – by taking credit for things that were already in motion.
On Thursday, the White House patted itself on the back once again – bragging about ‘8.3 million jobs’ and ‘the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term’ in history — the natural reaction to the government’s job-killing pandemic restrictions being lifted.
But wait, they also lied – claiming that when Biden took office, “millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available,” which is categorically false.
When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.
In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3M jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6% — the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President's term ever recorded.

For starters, Biden himself was vaccinated before taking office. In fact, more than one million doses per day were being administered when Biden took office under the Trump administration’s ‘Operation Warp Speed.’
And while the admin can count on Twitter not to label their tweet ‘false or misleading’ – as they so frequently did during the last administration, the lie was so blatant that CNN even called them out on it – and they issued a correction the next day (it wasn’t a lie, they simply ‘misstated’ a fact).
We previously misstated that vaccines were unavailable in January 2021. We should have said that they were not widely available.
Vaccines became available shortly before the President came into office. Since then, he’s responsible for fully vaccinating over 200 million people. https://t.co/rHJ0GZ63Dy

The people aren’t buying it…
Sorry, not good enough. You spread COVID related misinformation and now must be banned. Isn’t that how it still works?

I am a health care worker had my vaccine in 12/20 so yes they were available to all the men and women who worked so very hard during the pandemic

Must be really hard when they can’t blame Putin or Trump for their own incompetence.
I wish it was the labor force participation rate that was reported instead of the unemployment rate.
That is where you will find a truer indicator of the condition of the economy and the general workforce.
IT should have read
“Vaccines became available shortly before the President came into office. Since then, he’s responsible for fully Murdering over 200 million people.” and the full number is yet to come.
Damn this evil. I lost my grandniece because of these deaths shots, both from Biden and Trump.
When CNN AKA communist news network calls out the Whitehouse for its lies, well you can stick a fork in it for any redemption of any kind because all credibility has been lost!
More accurate
headline would be:
WHITE HOUSE
ADMITS IT LIES
ABOUT EVERYTHING
It doesn’t matter if they admit it, the vaccination program is their policy and they’re not going to change it even if it destroys the economy, the health of the people, whatever. Policy is not formed based on what’s good for the people, it’s based on what good for the “elites”. It cannot be reconciled. Besides, gov’t knows at least half the people are sheeple who mindlessly believe and obey everything, and are eager to please their masters no matter how detrimental to themselves. The gov’t is wasting its time with people like me. I’m never going to believe it, I’m never going to willingly cooperate with it, I’m never going to willingly support it. I act only in my interests and doing quite well thank you.
Time for a non-peaceful revolution yet?
Delete the Elites! Oh Vlad! There is a big meeting going on in Davos. Do the world a favor!
