Leave it to President Joe Biden to bring up his late son Beau in a speech about inflation. Beau comes up a lot, even when Biden is talking about the war in Ukraine. He was actually thinking of Iraq because that’s where Beau died.
Which isn’t true.
Beau Biden died at Walter Reed. This is common knowledge. Less than a month ago, Biden told a crowd in Colorado that his son “lost his life in Iraq.”

Repeat a lie often enough and you start to believe it.

Holy moly. The spin staff must be in a panic.

They don’t care because they know everyone will just go along with it.
media's just gonna keep letting him claim his son died in Iraq

His son was in Iraq fighting for the cause, got cancer afterwards, he attributes the cancer to the burn pits. Come on people, catch up.
— Mak (@TheJollyRoge) November 1, 2022
That’s the story — Beau developed brain cancer from the toxic burn pits in Iraq.
Why, it’s just a stutter

Inexcusable that the media lets him off the hook with these lies. "President's words matter" – Joe Biden, over and over again in 2020 campaign.

Former CNN hall monitor Brian Stelter went off on President Donald Trump’s mental fitness after a tweet warning North Korea not to try anything funny. His frequent guest on “Reliable Sources” was a psychiatrist who wanted him restrained and put on a 72-hour psychiatric hold. She briefed some Democrats in Congress on the president’s mental state despite having not evaluated him in person and concluded he was dangerous and mentally unfit to serve. Oh, and on top of it all, Trump was a pathological liar.
He has completely lost it

Why does @FLOTUS let this guy keep talking near a microphone? It’s elder abuse and uncomfortable to watch.
— Tommy Says🐊 (@K0DK0DK0D) November 1, 2022
Holy crap. This dude is very, very unwell.
— Carver (@tommycarver) November 1, 2022
We know Biden will lie at the drop of a hat to connect to his audience (hence the addition of the burn pits to the story), but how can he lie about something so personal and so easy to fact-check? Is this just “his truth” now?
