Yesterday the White House had a tweet it has “Report for disinformation” written all over the place. If you haven’t seen it yet, this doozy comes with a drink alert for a couple of reasons:
When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.
In the past 15 months, the economy has created 8.3 million jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6%, the fastest ever decline in unemployment since the start of the presidential term.

Heck, where to start with that?
When you scratch your head trying to decide whether to report this tweet for Covid or for economic misinformation.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale took over the vaccine part and there’s no way to help the White House get it running:
“There was no vaccine available” is very clearly not true. More than 3 million Americans were fully vaccinated, and more than 18 million received at least one dose by Biden’s inauguration day. Biden himself was fully vaccinated.
It has obviously become more widely available over time, but. https://t.co/HNivLzStWT

Without a doubt, and they are free to tweet “the vaccine was not available to most of the public” or whatever. “There wasn’t a vaccine available,” in the end, goes too far as there were nearly 19 million people with injections, mistakenly suggesting that the entire rollout began under Biden. https://t.co/TZO1IZNECg

Biden is even starting to lose CNN.
The lies are so obvious that even CNN has to acknowledge them

When even cheeky, biased “fact-checking” jokes like Daniel Dale call you out, you know it must have been a truly glaring lie. https://t.co/SoxUgd7SRV

Quite right? The White House tweets what That dishonest.
The people in the responses who still defend the White House lie about tweets even after Daniel Dale calls them out. https://t.co/tG5gDgXBH9

This explains how Biden has the remaining approval.
So tired of left-wing Democrats lying at will and a conservative is banned for stating the truth. @Elon Musk https://t.co/EMjU7hl0vJ

Here is the next assignment:
Now put some context on the 8.3 million jobs “created” in relation to the jobs that have returned after the lockdowns. https://t.co/nk4DbATOvZ

Democrats who shut down businesses and then allowed them to reopen trying to pass those off as “jobs created” may be the most bogus part of the White House tweet.
