"President Joe Biden visited striking auto workers in Detroit on Tuesday and joined them on the picket line in a historic first for a sitting president. But a video showing Biden speaking to the workers includes a misquote that’s going viral on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter. The misquote was shared by Benny Johnson, a right-wing media personality with over 1.8 million followers on X.
“Joe Biden minutes after slipping on steps of Air Force One: ‘I marched a lot of UAW picket lines when I was a Senator since 1973. But I tell you what— first time I’ve ever done it in person,’” Johnson incorrectly quoted the president as saying. As the video clearly shows, President Biden said “this is the first time I’ve ever done it as president,” not “in person.”
Meet Benny Johnson, a right-wing social media influencer, Trump sycophant and professional liar. He is one of many many many right-wing media types whose sole purpose is to lie and hope their idiot followers will believe the lie and....if things really go as planned, their followers won't even care its a lie and continue believing it....
This is the bread and butter of right-wing messaging. The lie will later be in a meme, repeated over and over again - and try as you might to try to correct it, it won't matter. This is how the cycle works and this is why these folks get so triggered about being "fact checked" -- because if you pay attention to bottom of the tweet - you will see this:
In other words, his lie was so lazy and over the top stupid, that even Elon's Twitter had to debunk it...and it still won't matter.....this is why it is so easy to be a right-winger, because you are absolutely not constrained by facts whatsoever, just make it up....and then cry "censorship!!" when someone corrects you.
