Creepy Uncle Joe Biden told reporters that as vice president he helped push a bill that would have ended the use of private prisons. CNN decided to fact check Biden and found that it would be impossible for him to push the bill because no such bill ever existed.
That would make it rather hard to push, don’t you think? CNN reached out to the Biden campaign and asked them about the discrepancy, but they refused to comment. They are probably hoping it will go away bt the liberal media doesn’t worship him as they did with Obama.
On Monday, a fact-check article by none other than CNN demolished 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and rebuked his latest suggestion that as vice president, he was involved in pushing a bill to end private prisons.
“No more mandatory minimums, period,” Biden said during a speech at the South Carolina Democratic Convention.
“End private prisons, which we did in our bill, period.”
But CNN’s Daniel Dale and Holmes Lybrand weren’t having it.
They exposed the former vice president’s false statement, plainly writing, “Biden was not involved in a bill that ended, or would have ended, the use of private prisons.”
They went on to explain that Biden “might have been referring to the Obama-Biden administration’s 2016 decision to reduce the federal use of private prisons.”
However, CNN noted that the decision was merely a memo from Sally Yates — the deputy attorney general at the time — and added, “There was no bill.”
