Thanks to our sister-site Townhall for catching this gem following President Biden’s speech to a joint session of Congress. You might remember that CNN reported the day after Biden’s inauguration that Biden and his advisers were “inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration,” and would “have to build everything from scratch.” Funny, considering that vaccinations were already on track to meet Biden’s 100-day goal of getting 100 million Americans vaccinated — a low bar he knew he could clear.
As much as Biden spoke about vaccinations — it’s a popular issue for him — CNN political analyst Gloria Borger told a panel after the speech that “everybody understands that Operation Warp Speed happened under Joe Biden.”
Over on CNN, Gloria Borger claims "everybody understands that Operation Warp Speed happened under Joe Biden."

OK, so she did issue a correction eventually.
Gloria Borger issues on-air correction:
"I misstated it earlier, Donald Trump gets credit for Operation Warp Speed, but Joe Biden gets credit on getting those vaccines…into your arms."
She fails to note the Trump admin was already vaccinating at a pace to meet Biden's goals. pic.twitter.com/ebdB8exXJL

It was a half-ass correction at best, but still doesn’t negate the fact nobody corrected her.

You know who was responsible for getting that televised vaccination into Biden’s arm? President Trump and Operation Warp Speed.
Operation Warp Speed was founded on May 15, 2020 under the leadership of President Donald Trump https://t.co/GAgZLebIBG

Guess there are no journalists at CNN or they would know this.

The @CNN misinformation campaign continues

I think she actually didn't say the name she intended to say on camera, but it came out in Freudian-like manner.

That could be true.
CNN pushes what Jeff Zucker dictates – and that doesn’t mean “facts”

Democrats are always rewriting history. They don't care if you see them lie because it's all about grooming the next generation into their deception. It's evil.

I think she misspoke — I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, that it was an honest mistake — but, yep: NO ONE CORRECTED HER. This happens often enough, it will become the established "history" of our times… Because YOU KNOW The Left won't amend the record. CNN is trash.

Like when a mainstream news outlet issues a correction tweet after the initial lie has gone viral on social media.
No one corrected the statement.
She later made a half correction, saying Trump gets credit for the program, but Biden got the shots in the arm.Tens of millions were vaccinated by the time Biden was inaugurated.

People can swear up and down that he doesn’t but every passing hour of everyday Donald Trump lives rent free in these fools minds. And they HAVE to mention him because he’s the reason for their very existence. If Trump never came along these feckless clowns wouldn’t be around

Biden literally invented the vaccine himself
— Λdam M (@boyjesus0) April 29, 2021
OK, we’ll just assume she misspoke — but it’s telling that she had to correct herself.
