D'OH! Twitter slapped a fact-check on Biden's tweeted letter from little girl upset about pay gap

Doug P. | 1:36 PM on March 15, 2023

Yesterday whoever runs the @POTUS Twitter account (it certainly isn’t Biden) tweeted what they claimed was a letter from a little girl asking the president to do something about men earning so much more money than women:

Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more.

Women lose thousands of dollars each year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps.

I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons. pic.twitter.com/0vholYMTaR

Does “I’m a child and I think we should do something” sound like something written by a 35-year-old who was asked to try and sound like a little kid, or is it just us? In any case, at the time Twitter’s Community Notes thought some additional information was needed:

The community notes on this is fantastic. https://t.co/dHfECEHapK

Here’s what the Community Note said:

That Twitter “community note” was attached but no longer appears under the tweet but it was a nice (and necessary) touch.
