Biden Makes Ridiculous Lie About Gas Prices - Media 'Fact-Checkers' Nowhere to be Found

Another day, another lie.

President Joe Biden falsely claimed that the national average price of gas per gallon was “over $5 when i took office” during prepared remarks delivered on Thursday.

“The most common price of gas in America is three dollars and 39 cents, down from over $5 when I took office,” Biden said.

It is unclear where the President sourced the idea that gas prices were “over $5” in January 2020, but the claim is completely untrue.

In actuality, the national average for a gallon of gas was $2.39, less than half of $5 and over a dollar less than the $3.39 figure Biden bragged about on Thursday.

And even his current figure was wrong. As of Thursday morning, when he spoke, the national average from AAA was $3.77, and rising all week.

WATCH:

And the media's self-appointed "fact-checkers"? Nowhere to be found. As of this article's publication, none of the major checkers from WaPo, Newsweek, FactCheck or PolitiFact had any listing of Biden's ridiculously false claim.

Biden lies all the time. By the end of his term he may well be the most dishonest president in history.

The New York Times recently tried to convince the public that Biden’s pathological dishonesty about easily verified facts is just “folksiness.” They call his outright lies “exaggeration,” “falsehood,” “claims,” “embellishing,” and “stories.” Really anything but “lies.”

“And there were only 13 states when I took office,” Biden added. “We now have over 60 states. That’s all my doing.”

Merely slight confusion. Five dollars was the price per gallon in South Africa when Biden was arrested with Nelson Mandela.

Every time you see the phrase “Fact Checker” it should be replaced with “Liberal Liars”. Cause 9 times out of 10 they are covering up for liberals, or smearing conservatives.

It’s not a lie. It’s just a little gaslighting.

It’s exactly this kind of talk that is killing Democrats. People know what they make, spend and save.

Biden didn't take office until January of 2021.

Maybe he was referring to when he first held any office for the first time in the ‘70s?
