The Washington Post‘s fact checker gave former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden a "Four Pinocchio" rating for comments he made about President Donald Trump's tax cuts only benefitting the rich.
"There's a $2 trillion tax cut last year. Did you feel it? Did you get anything from it? Of course not. Of course not. All of it went to folks at the top and corporations," Biden said during a campaign rally in Pittsburgh on Monday.
Glenn Kessler, the Post's fact checker, started his analysis of Biden's false claim by saying, "Here we go again. Democrats have long attacked President Trump's tax cut in misleading ways," adding that Biden's comment is a "whopper." He went on to say the biggest problem with Biden's claim is his "sweeping declaration" that all of the tax cuts benefitted the wealthy.

"This is a good example of how precise words and context matter in a fact check. We've previously given Democrats and Republicans Two Pinocchios for failing to make clear whether they are talking about the long-term or short-term tax-cut estimates for the law," Kessler wrote. "But Biden, with his loose language, ends up in the Four-Pinocchio territory. He asserts that no Americans but those at the top received any tax cut in 2018, which is clearly false."
"Most Americans received a tax cut. They may not have noticed it, but that's no excuse for saying they never got one," Kessler added.
Comment:
The Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Dem Left is in panic mode and are relying on public ignorance to push lies as told by China Joe and his Marxist alliance.
Just as the 'Atlantic" claims that Trump called the 1,800 dead WWI Belleau Woods Marine's losers... When we know that he respects our military and those that have fought for America...
In addition the DNC recently produced a Biden campaign video of lies claiming that Trump will cut Social Security benefits in 2023 if elected.... WAPO gave that the full row of Pinocchios too
