Twitter Fact-Checks Joe Biden
President Joe Biden found himself at the wrong end of Twitter’s fact-checking “Community Notes” function on Tuesday.
Biden pointed the finger at Republicans in the debt ceiling fight in a tweet amid the looming deadline.
“America is not a deadbeat nation,” Biden wrote. “We have never, ever failed to pay our debt. But MAGA Republicans are engaged in reckless hostage-taking by threatening to force America into default. It’s dangerous and wrong.”
A new feature of the platform under Elon Musk, called Community Notes, added some context to the tweet after it was posted. . .
America is not a deadbeat nation.
We have never, ever failed to pay our debt. But MAGA Republicans are engaged in reckless hostage-taking by threatening to force America into default. It’s dangerous and wrong.

Among the times the country defaulted, three happened within Biden’s lifetime: in 1968, 1971, and 1979, with the final time happening after Biden took office in the Senate. (Read more from “Twitter Fact-Checks Joe Biden” HERE)
