Biden boasted that “inflation [is] down, way down, and continuing to go down.” Growth in inflation has been steadily declining from its peak of 9.1% for the 12 months ending in June 2022, but overall, it is still up 19.4% since the start of Biden’s presidency.
Using mixed numbers, starting with inflation growth and ending with total overall inflation since a certain date in the same comparison. Neither of these figures addresses the current inflation rate or its degree of movement.
Biden boasted that “border encounters have dropped over 50%” and that “there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office.” Apprehensions of those trying to cross the southern border illegally plummeted in July, but illegal border crossings skyrocketed for most of Biden’s presidency.
This is not a failed fact check. Biden’s language is not referring to most of his Presidency, but today, where they have dropped 50%.
I’m sure there were probably more, but I’m done reading that. It does not actually appear to hold itself to any sort of rigorous standard.
This “fact checking” service seems a little off.

Probably AI powered.
That makes sense. We should have ChatGPT fact check it for us. lol
Yeah it’s not their best work. I’m wondering if they just rushed this out too quickly.
