and it was the left wing compliant press that called him out . CNN and Politico both called BS when he tweeted that


"Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.— The White House (@WhiteHouse) November 1, 2022 (https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1587546267923742725?)"

The problem for him is that increases in SS are linked to inflation.
CNN Fact Checker Dan Dale tweeted
Daniel Dale on Twitter: "That’s quite the spin. The size of Social Security checks is linked, by law, to inflation ( (https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1587619775001378818)https://t.co/InySftYUDM). This year’s increase is unusually big because the inflation rate is unusually big." / Twitter


COLA adjustments have been around since 1972

Politico reported :

The White House did not originally respond to a request for comment on the “context” earlier Wednesday, but when POLITICO followed up after the tweet was deleted, a White House official said “the point was incomplete” in the deleted post.

today he jumped the shark and accused half the country of being threats to democracy .

He said "We don't settle our differences in America with a riot... We settle them peacively at the battle box"

Perhaps we should be more concerned about deceptive and corrupt leadership practices than we are about errors in grammar. His approach of suggesting that repubs want to do away with Social Security and Medicare is despicable and false. It's the approach of, "If we can't win with the truth, then we'll win by lying."

At any rate, I'm surprised that the subjective news services covered this so honestly. It must have been shocking to the Biden admin.
