Who is the bigger liar: Biden or the previous President?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) March 26th, 2021

The previous President was called a liar on many occasions by mainstream media. However, in my opinion, most of his lies were of the harmless variety. According to
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/25/politics/fact-check-biden-first-press-conference/index.html

Biden uttered the following lies in his press conference yesterday after preparing for it for a record 65+ days.

1.“we’re sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming.”
2.“Between 1917 and 1971, the filibuster existed, there were a total of 58 motions to break a filibuster. That whole time. Last year alone there were five times that many,” Biden said.
3.While discussing his goal to reach 200 million Covid-19 vaccinations in the first 100 days of his administration, Biden repeated his claim that “no other country in the world has even come close, not even close to what we are doing” on the vaccine front.
4.He asked rhetorically whether people had heard Republicans complain about President Donald Trump’s $2 trillion tax cuts, which Biden said had “83% going to the top 1%.” Biden and other Democrats have repeatedly invoked the “83%” figure.
5.Biden claimed a “majority of forecasters have significantly increased their projections. Now projecting it will exceed 6%, a 6% growth in GDP.”
6.He said that even if McConnell says that “the last thing I did, this last piece of legislation, is so far left, well, then he ought to take a look at his party. Over 50% of them must be over that edge as well. Because they support what I did.”
7.Addressing the recent influx of unaccompanied migrant children on the US southern border, Biden claimed that “nothing has changed” from the Trump administration—saying there had been a “28% increase in children on the border under my administration” versus a 31% increase in the same period of 2019 under Trump.

Hence my question. I personally would give Biden a pass on 2 and 5. That still leaves FIVE BIG LIES!

So do you think the previous President was more of a liar than Biden?
