Biden Lies Again and Again

[Keep Burning Minnesota]

Joe Biden is a career liar and he lied some more in the debate,
for instance when he dismissed the now well-supported New York
Post story about Hunter Biden’s business dealing as “a Russian
plant.” There is zero evidence for this. He offered this line:

There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said what
he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant. Five former heads of the
CIA — both parties — say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage.
Nobody believes it except him and his good friend Rudy Giuliani.

There were some headlines from Biden-friendly media to this
effect, but this is a gross mischaracterization of the letter
from ex-CIA chief John Brennan et al, which merely asserted that
the Hunter Biden story sounded like a Russian disinformation op,
not that there was any evidence for this. The relevant portion
reads:

We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided
to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy
Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of
Russian involvement” [But] there are a number of factors that
make us suspicious of Russian involvement.

Biden’s lie about fracking — “I never said I opposed fracking” —
was so egregious that even CNN’s Daniel Dale mentioned it in his
after-action report. Biden has repeatedly suggested banning
fracking, sometimes specifying new fracking, sometimes
specifying on federal lands (where a lot of fracking takes
place), and has even promised to “get rid of fossil fuels.”

Biden claimed, “There is no evidence that when you raise the
minimum wage, businesses go out of business. That is simply not
true.” Here’s a Washington Post story citing exactly that
evidence.
