The president falsely claimed murderers and rapists are released under a so-called “catch and release” policy.The rate is about 50%, according to his own Justice Department. Trump said African American income grew “nine times” more under his administration than under his predecessor.In fact, immigration laws require such criminals be detained. Biden misleadingly claimed that “38,000 prisoners were released from federal prison” during the Obama administration.Though Biden claimed Trump’s travel restrictions on China were imposed “late, after 40 countries had already done that,” most of those countries did it around the same time Trump did.Biden claimed Social Security’s chief actuary said if Trump “continues his plan to withhold the tax on Social Security” the program “will be bankrupt by 2023.” Trump hasn’t proposed ending the tax without providing alternative funding, the scenario the actuary assessed.Biden said there’s “no evidence” that raising the minimum wage causes business bankruptcies.It was Hillary Clinton - not Biden - who applied the term to some “gangs of kids.” Trump wrongly attributed the term “super-predator” to Biden.Trump again falsely claimed Biden would get rid of private health insurance.Trump claimed that Biden wants to raise “everybody’s” taxes.The president quoted Anthony Fauci as saying the coronavirus was “not going to be a problem.” Fauci didn’t say that.But that relies on figures Census says suffer from a pandemic-induced survey bias. The total number went down by about 12,000. trade deficit with China went “up, not down” under Trump. In fact it was lower in 2019 than it was in Biden’s last year as vice president. Mitch McConnell as saying, “Let them go bankrupt,” about cities and states that have lost revenue as a result of the pandemic. McConnell said bankruptcy should be a legal option for states with unrelated money woes.
The president is distorting the facts of a disputed account in a partisan report from a Republican-controlled Senate committee about Biden’s son, Hunter. That report claimed that “an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden” received $3.5 million from Russian businesswoman Elena Baturina in 2014. Baturina was the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, who was removed as mayor in 2010 by then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
At the time of the alleged payment, Baturina was living in London and Austria.
The report says nothing about Joe Biden receiving any money from that transaction, and it is not clear that Hunter Biden did, either.
