Guns, taxes, and the border: Biden’s speech awash in whoppers
BLAMING TRUMP FOR THE BORDER CRISIS
The number of unaccompanied minors in the Biden administration’s custody has topped 13,000 every day this month, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
TAXES
As he argued in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy, Biden argued the very rich had seen their fortunes grow significantly during the p******c, while ordinary people suffered economically.
“At the same time, roughly 650 billionaires in America saw their net worth increase by more than $1 trillion — in the same exact period. Let me say it again: 650 people increased their wealth by more than $1 trillion during this p******c. And they’re now worth more than $4 trillion.”
As the Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday, the claim that the wealthiest people saw their net worth grow by $1 trillion during the p******c is based on a study from a pair of left-leaning groups that measured the baseline of the billionaires’ value in mid-March of last year.
And small-business owners have warned that raising the marginal tax rate for individuals making $400,000 a year or more, as Biden has requested, could devastate their livelihoods because many file their business income on their personal taxes.
GUNS
In an effort to pitch Congress on passing the gun control measures Democrats have long sought, Biden claimed an expired ban on assault weapons saved lives and could do so again if revived.
“In the ’90s, we passed universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and high-capacity magazines that hold 100 rounds that can be fired off in seconds,” Biden said. “We beat the NRA. Mass shootings and gun violence declined.”
Experts have said there is no evidence that the 1994 ban on assault-style weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition lowered crime or violence, however.
A recent Washington Examiner review could find no documented instances of a ghost gun ever being used in a mass shooting.
CAPITOL R**T
Biden suggested that the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on J*** 6 perpetrated “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."
Critics cited a long list of events that could be characterized as worse affronts to democracy than the J*** 6 r**t.
The terrorist attack on U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001, was far more significant in terms of lives lost and damage inflicted, and it changed the country’s trajectory much more immediately and obviously.
The attempted assassination of former President Ronald Reagan and the successful assassination of former President John F. Kennedy could also be characterized as more direct attacks.
The 1941 attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor was enough of a challenge to American democracy that it drew the U.S. into World War II.
The decades of disenfranchisement that b***k A******ns faced after the Civil War included a long struggle to secure the right to v**e — a struggle that claimed many more lives than the J*** 6 r**t and involved a much more widespread denial of democratic rights.
