v”It can only be described as a war on reality,” wrote Drew Holden on Saturday sharing a talking points memo from the Biden White House listing what they call the president’s* “accomplishments” to date in office.
It’s almost too incredible for description. “War on reality” is just about the only thing I can think of that fits the bill.
See for yourself:
The Biden administration is touting "gas prices" — which have increased by about $1 per gallon under Biden — as one of their signature wins in 2021: https://t.co/JrywHa7cuU

NEW: The Biden Admin sent talking points out today touting their accomplishments to (some) reporters. It can only be described as a war on reality.

First, vaccination rates. Without mentioning that the Admin inherited three vaccines from their predecessor, Biden claims credit for a 70% jump in vaccination rate year-over-year. pic.twitter.com/ORF4bYm8w9

A year ago, the first vaccine had been administered one week prior, so OF COURSE vax rates were low.
But when Biden was sworn in, the US was vaccinating citizens at the 5th highest rate in the developed world.
That # has fallen dramatically under Biden. https://t.co/TJEH6mVk8p

And the school opening stat is despite, not because of, the Admin, who has repeatedly pushed for anti-science measures at the behest of the teachers’ unions. https://t.co/wwfrLS4zaZ pic.twitter.com/8ual1BBcqU

This same ham-fistedness applies to the stats on job creation, too.
Was anything happening in the last 3-5 months of the Trump Admin, guys? Might that factor in? pic.twitter.com/5z7QVxWrIR

Taking credit for the creation of local and state jobs is also intellectually dishonest when so many of the largest job creating states – Florida, Texas, etc. – not only didn’t vote for Biden but have (with good reason) rejected his economic advice. https://t.co/a9ZpSOTeVh

And I mean cmon. If someone thought REALLY hard, I’m sure they could figure out why hospitality jobs have come back whether or not the Admin had done anything. pic.twitter.com/qmW1krmJJJ

But it gets even more ridiculous when the Biden Admin tries to combat reality on inflation.
Biden touts his “aggressive actions to address prices” in an attempt to elide that prices for consumer goods are near a 40 year high as a result of his policies. pic.twitter.com/cezbJVG5kN

Absent from this is that nearly 70% of Americans think Biden is doing a bad job at handling inflation and the economy. That even includes a *majority* of Dems.
You can almost feel the desperation coming off of the memo here. pic.twitter.com/kC1MTqOLY7

It’s just incredible. Can’t wait to see CNN fact checkers climb all over this. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I’m joking of course, because they are a joke.
Just like this fake list.
