When doesn't Biden and his junta lie to the American people?
Heck, he just had a presser (again taking no questions) and lied about the border, border control, and blamed everyone but the person responsible for the mess at the border. That would be himself.
Trump initiated lower insulin prices, Biden did away with that early on, then redid what Trump had done and takes credit for it. Then come the lies.

Winston Churchill once said that “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” It often seems like the Biden White House and campaign has embraced that warning as an operating principle. The most recent target was the veteran Fox news anchor John Roberts, who was accused of airing “a blatant lie” in questioning Biden’s claim that he was the first president to push through a cap of $35 on insulin treatments. Roberts was entirely correct, but the campaign has still not removed the false attack on his integrity and accuracy.
In the interests of full disclosure, I am a legal analyst for Fox News and I have known Roberts for decades. There is no one who I hold in higher regard for his integrity or his intellect than John Roberts. We have known and worked with each other at different networks through the years. Roberts is an old-school journalist with impeccable credentials.
Yesterday, the Biden campaign launched the attack on Roberts for his questioning of the claim of President Joe Biden that he solely secured the insulin cap. Roberts remarked that he had a recollection that it was former President Donald Trump who pushed the cap.
The Biden campaign then called it “a blatant lie” in a posting on X that has reached over a million people.
Contrary to the Biden campaign’s claims, Roberts recollection was entirely correct. Under the Trump Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced in May 202 [sic] that the Part D Senior Savings Model. Participating plans would cap insulin copays to $35 per month’s supply, and over 1,750 Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D plans applied to offer lower insulin costs.
Trump praised the new police [sic], which was widely covered by the press.
There was a Rose Garden event where Trump was praised for his actions:
Trump later, in July 2020, Trump signed four executive orders aimed at lowering the cost of insulin. That included Executive Order 13937, required Federally Qualified Health Centers to pass 340B discounts on to patients. Notably, Biden later reversed Executive Order 13937 before those cost-saving measures could take effect.
This is obviously not the first false statement from the President. However, it is notable that his campaign spread obvious disinformation that was picked up by over a million people but then declined to take down the false claim. The campaign is now in a worse position. To take down the posting is to acknowledge not just that it has lied about Roberts, but that the President lied in taking sole credit for this cap.
This is the same administration supporting the banning, blacklisting, and throttling of those responsible for disinformation. I would not support such censorship of the campaign. This and other columns refuting the false account is sufficient to combat a “blatant lie” by the Biden campaign. Whether it is his uncle being eaten by cannibals or insulin caps, free speech can correct false claims without government regulation. However, President Biden and his administration continue to push for censorship of others accused for false or misleading statements.
The fact that John Roberts was right is hardly surprising. However, there remains a “blatant lie” on the Biden campaign’s social media must still be corrected.
