President Joe Biden is being called out for his remarks about his son’s business dealings.
The Washington Post released an article Tuesday that detailed Joe Biden’s continued denial of involvement in Hunter Biden’s business affairs and gave him a rating of “four Pinocchios.”
“Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler cited the first and second 2020 presidential debates where Biden claimed that his son never made money off of foreign business dealings.
Kessler noted, “But now, nearly three years later, Biden’s assertions have been directly rebutted by Hunter himself.”
“In court testimony last week, the younger Biden acknowledged that he in fact had been paid substantial sums in China — the first official confirmation that this was the case.”
Kessler also pointed out, “In 2019, Biden said he had ‘never spoken to’ his son about his business dealings.”
2020 Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates also stated before the Oct. 22 debate, “Joe Biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.”
“Joe Biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever,” Bates added.
These four statements conflict with information discovered by the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the Biden family and recent testimony by Hunter Biden’s business associate, Devon Archer, according to IJR.
Kessler’s article gained note on social media.
Independent media outlet Zero Hedge shared the article stating, “The Washington Post Admits Biden Has Been Lying About Hunter Not Accepting Money From China.”
