On Thursday, CNN<\/a> posted an article about President Biden’s Wednesday Town Hall Meeting.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden participated Wednesday in the second CNN town hall of his presidency, taking questions from anchor Don Lemon and local residents in Cincinnati.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As he did at his February town hall, Biden made a number of false or misleading claims. We haven’t been able to look into every single thing he said Wednesday night, but here is a rundown on some of his remarks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the list of false or misleading claims. Please follow the link above to the article to see the details:<\/p>\n

But then, during a third exchange, Biden said that since the vaccines “cover” the highly transmissible Delta variant of the virus<\/a>: “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…After he was asked by a citizen if he is concerned about higher prices, especially inflation in gasoline, automotive and food prices, Biden asserted that “the cost of an automobile, it’s kind of back to what it was before the pandemic.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Biden criticized the broad corporate use of “noncompete” clauses that restrict<\/a> workers’ ability to leave for jobs at other companies. He said, “For example, you have over 600,000 people out there signing — 6 million people signing a — I better check the number — of — signing noncompete agreements. Not because they have … any secret, but because they were working for one fast-food restaurant, and they’re told they can’t get 10 cents more going across town, going to the other fast-food restaurant. Why? To keep wages down.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Talking about the ongoing Senate negotiations over a bipartisan infrastructure bill, Biden said he thinks the negotiators need only until Monday<\/a> to resolve outstanding issues. He said, “You had up to 20 Republicans sign a letter saying, ‘We think we need this deal. We think we need this deal.’ “<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Touting his expansion of the child tax credit<\/a>, which was part of the $1.9 trillion relief package he signed into law in March<\/a>, Biden claimed, “It’s called the child tax credit. If you have a child under the age of 7, you get 300 bucks a month — 350 bucks a month. If you have a child under — between 7 and 17, you get a total of 200 bucks a month.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Biden said, “Now, by the way, remember when I first got elected, the issue was, well, I said I was going to do a million shots a week, and people said, ‘Biden can’t do that’ or ‘Biden team can’t do that.’ And it was 2 million.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know a Democrat is in trouble when CNN starts fact-checking them!<\/p>\n
