POWELL: NO SENSE THAT INFLATION IS COMING DOWN
— *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) November 2, 2022
The White House deleted this tweet after taking credit for 8% annualized inflation. Luckily screen shots are forever.
The White House was forced into an embarrassing Twitter climbdown on Wednesday, deleting a tweet that claimed President Joe Biden was responsible for seniors getting the biggest increase in Social Security checks in a decade.
As fact checkers were quick to point out, the increase is based on the rate of inflation and required by law.
At first, Twitter added a note to the original Monday afternoon tweet.
By Tuesday lunchtime the message had been deleted.
