Team Biden has a distinct advantage in the November election in that they are not tethered to the truth when trying to convince American voters that four more years of the last four years is a good thing.
The campaign is largely free to escape the gravitational pull of the truth because the pro-Biden media can be counted on to sit on its collective hands as they spout untruths.
Case in point, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — yes, technically, she is not part of the campaign, but we all know how the charade works by now — who went on the Democratic propaganda network MSNBC to claim that the cost of groceries has gone down under President Biden.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE:
“There were grocery things that were up — it has gone down!”
(Grocery prices are up 20%+ since Biden took office)
“We saw gas prices go down!”

Apparently, Democrats are touting the drop in prices that they drove through the roof, banking on the short memory of the average voter.
Earlier this month, the RNC noted in response to the Biden administration trying to declare victory over inflation, “Overall prices are up 20%+ since Biden took office, with gas prices up 55.3%, electricity up 29%, rent up 21.2%, and grocery prices up 21.2%.”
Speaking of mistruths, Biden continues to insist that inflation was at 9% when he took office. If you were to assign Pinocchios to that fib, you’d run out of wood:
Q: Why does Biden keep claiming inflation was 9% when he took office — when it was actually 1.4%?
YELLEN: “Inflation hit 9% at its peak…”
Q: “16 months after he took office!”
YELLEN: Okay, true, inflation was much lower under President Trump. pic.twitter.com/CptXcogeTt

But that fib pales in comparison to this claim:
Biden: “The most common price of gas in America is $3.39, down from over $5 when I took office.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:
She doesn’t understand what the inflation number even means.
If the inflation is the rate of price increases.
For prices to “go down” we would need negative inflation (also called deflation).

The DEI Press Secretary lies nonstop.
We know she’s lying, she knows she is lying and she knows that we know she is lying, but she continues to lie.
Bizarre.

Ridiculous.
If there’s one thing people understand, it’s how much more they are paying for food and gas since Biden took office.
