In recent weeks, President Joe Biden has claimed repeatedly now that inflation was at 9 percent when he took office in January 2021. Last week’s comments came in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, which touched upon inflation. Biden tried to push Americans into being more grateful about the economy, including through such a false claim, as he then even bragged about the matter. The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has more examples of such false claims about inflation, though, including and especially about the 9 percent figure.
“Three times now, Biden has suggested that inflation was 9 percent … when he took office.”
“The fact that the president has gotten this wrong three times suggests this is more than slip of the tongue. He earns Four Pinocchios.”
