Clueless Joe called out about his Social Security lie
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"

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.
