NY Times spotted glossing over Biden's lies in a selfless act of unbiased pre-midterm 'journalism'

The Biden White House for some reason thought it would be a good idea to have the president try to rally the troops in Florida yesterday even though the Republicans in that state on the ballot, including DeSantis and Rubio, are very likely to win re-election. In other words, Biden’s midterm rally (Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to wake up the crowd) in the Sunshine State is most likely destined to age horribly in about six days.

Biden’s Florida speech yesterday contained a number of doozies. Townhall provided just a sampler platter the whoppers Biden served up:

In his speech today, Biden:

– Said Debbie Wasserman Schultz worked in the senate
– Forgot what FEMA stands for
– Forgot the name of Hurricane Ian
– Said "the war in Iraq" is to blame for inflation
– Claimed he met the man who discovered insulin
– Busted out the southern accent pic.twitter.com/gvq4uPj8Bp

And guess how that was all framed in a recap from the New York Times:

When Biden say objectively untrue things, it’s not a lie, it’s a “verbal fumble” pic.twitter.com/UREPk34G1e

President Biden verbally fumbled during a campaign swing in Florida on Tuesday, confusing the American war in Iraq with the Russian war in Ukraine, and then he fumbled again while he tried to correct himself, misstating how his son Beau died in 2015.

In defending his record on inflation, Mr. Biden was trying to blame rising costs on President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia for his invasion of Ukraine, which has roiled international energy markets. It’s a point that he makes regularly in public speeches, but this time he mixed up his geography and history.

“Inflation is a worldwide problem right now because of a war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia is doing,” Mr. Biden told a crowd during a speech at O.B. Johnson Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., before heading to Miami Gardens for an evening campaign rally with Democratic candidates. He quickly caught his own mistake. “Excuse me,” he said, “the war in Ukraine.”

For starters, Biden has repeatedly claimed that his son Beau died in Iraq, and when it happens all the time it’s not “misspeaking,” it’s lying. That is unless Biden actually thinks that’s true, which would be due to an entirely different problem altogether.

When A Democrat Lies, It's a Misstatement!

NYT: "Mr. Biden, who at 79 is the oldest president in American history, has a long record of gaffes dating back to when he was a young man. But his misstatements have become more pronounced, and more noticed."https://t.co/A6BUSN4su5

“Misstatements” and “gaffes”? Nice try, but they’re called “lies,” New York Times!
