How Many False Claims Did Biden Make In His First 100 Days Compared To Trump?

The Washington Post's fact checker tallied all the false and misleading claims Biden made in speeches, interviews and tweets since taking office.

In the wake of a presidency in which lie-telling was a key feature, preliminary results on dishonesty are in for President Joe Biden. Biden made 67 false and misleading statements in his first 100 days in office, according to a report Monday from The Washington Post’s fact checker. That compares to 511 such comments from his predecessor Donald Trump in his first 100 days. The Post’s fact checkers characterized the Biden era as “a return to a more typical pattern when it comes to a commander in chief and his relationship with the facts — one that features frequent spin and obfuscation or exaggeration, with the occasional canard.”
