FACT CHECK: No, Joe Biden Did Not Admit To Election Fraud
A video shared on Facebook claims President Joe Biden admitted to 2020 election fraud after former president Donald Trump βsavedβ the price of oil.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence Biden admitted to committing election fraud.
Fact Check:
Biden recently made an appearance in Oregon to show support for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tina Kotek, according to Fox 12 Oregon. Despite making some appearances, the president has broken the tradition of large campaign rallies and has not held any large rallies since Labor Day, The New York Times reported.
The Facebook video, viewed over 20,000 times, alleges Biden committed election fraud. βBiden Admits ππππππππππ 2020 πππππ After Trump Saves βOil Priceββ¦ππππ―ππ¬ ππ‘ ππ§ πππππβ the videoβs caption reads.
The videoβs caption is inaccurate. News outlets have conducted extensive checks that found no widespread evidence of fraud that would overturn the results of the 2020 election. Furthermore, there have been no credible news reports that suggest Biden has admitted to election fraud or has been engaged in any activity during or after the 2020 election.
The White House has not issued any press releases that address this claim. Biden also has not mentioned this claim on his verified Twitter account. (RELATED: Did Ted Cruz Say He Had Evidence About The FBIβs Search Of Mar-A-Lago?)
The video content is irrelevant to the claim. The clip stems from the Newsmax morning show βNational Report.β During the broadcast, several topics were discussed, including the current administrationβs energy policies in comparison to the Trump era policies and Bidenβs recent trip to Florida to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian. At no point did allegations of election fraud surface.
This is not the first time misinformation about the 2020 election has been shared online. Check Your Fact previously debunked a claim alleging that an audit revealed that former President Donald Trump βwon Arizona in a landslide.β
