Biden Receives Major Backlash Over Incorrect Information in Tweet

It has never been entirely clear whether Biden runs his own Twitter account.

After his latest blunder in a Tweet.

I’m starting to think it is him!

Biden Tweeted about his Inflation Reduction Act and stated that the ‘U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy by 2023.”

That is not true, as it is already 2023!

Here is the Tweet in question:

Fox News has more on the story:

President Biden received a fact-check and a large dose of social media ridicule after getting a major point of his climate policy wrong in a recent post on the X platform (formerly Twitter).

In a post touting the Inflation Reduction Act, the administration’s key economic and climate legislation that was passed last year, Biden’s official account got the target date wrong for when the United States power grid would be powered by 81% clean energy.

The post received an official X “Community Notes” message noting the error and backlash from critics for the obvious blunder, and took heat from others tired of the climate change agenda in general.

Biden’s post contained an image of him taking a selfie with what appeared to be nondescript U.S. energy workers and a caption, which read, “The Inflation Reduction Act is projected to help triple wind power and increase solar power eightfold, while electricity deployed through the U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy by 2023.”

The U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy has stated that clean or renewable energy usage this year accounts for around 20% of the energy used by the U.S.

Biden doesn’t even know his policies.

People were quick to call out Biden for his mistake:

Biden racks up social media flak for erroneous climate policy post #NewsBreak: It is inconceivable that America will be self sustaining with such an erroneous climate policy to begin with! He’s catering to China producers of energy! https://t.co/rEewvLTKHV

More from the New York Post:

President Biden was blasted by critics Friday for getting a major point wrong while trying to tout the success of his climate policies.

While trying to brag about the success of his administration, the 80-year-old commander-in-chief incorrectly prophesized that the country would pull most of its power from renewable energy by the end of the year — seven years ahead of the true projection.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is projected to help triple wind power and increase solar power eightfold, while electricity deployed through the U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy by 2023,” Biden posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The tweet — which racked up over two million views — accompanied a picture of Biden posing for a selfie with an unidentified US energy worker.

Here is the original Tweet where Biden includes the CORRECT information on the act:

Because of our historic clean energy action, by 2030, electricity deployed through the U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy.

Imagine the impact that will have on the climate and the air we breathe.

Maybe the White House Speaker was out for the day, so Biden had to take over.

It baffles me that this man is in the White House…
