President Biden again this week said that he capped insulin at $35 a month, which sparked a fact-check from Fox News' John Roberts. The Biden-Harris HQ account called Roberts' fact-check a "blatant lie":
Biden-Harris HQ (@BidenHQ) ~ Fox host tries to claim Trump, not President Biden, capped insulin at $35/month
FACT CHECK: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, President Biden did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 wants to repeal it, which would raise insulin costs for over a million Americans.

Really?
Ah, yes ... about that ... Biden-Harris HQ is the one who is lying through their teeth.
Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ God, you suck at this. It's a matter of public record, you toadstools.
It's all just a part of their Joseph Goebbels PR playbook that they religiously follow.
FugitiveMama (@fugitivemama) ~ You post, we report you to @CommunityNotes - every day it's the same thing.
That's all Brandon's campaign has - LIES.
Capitalist Mike (@Capitalist_Mike) ~ Flat out lie. This is from http://CMS.gov in MAY 2020.

Ironically the Biden-Harris HQ account's header says "just the facts, Jack."
They wouldn't know a fact if it bit 'em on the ass.
Roberts said he gave the Biden campaign a chance to join him on the air and explain exactly how his claim is a "blatant lie," but for some reason, they weren't eager to appear:
TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) ~ 🔥 Fox News host John Roberts hits back at the Biden campaign after they accuse him of a ‘blatant lie’ over his reporting that Trump capped insulin at $35 a month
After providing the receipts showing it was Trump, not Biden, who capped insulin costs, John adds: "We invited a representative from the Biden campaign to come on the program with us to discuss ... but thus far, they have made no one available."

This isn't very surprising. This is the same Biden campaign blaming Trump for Biden's open border.
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ Good for John Roberts. Why won't anyone from the Biden campaign defend their non-position?
Because the receipts already undeniably prove that the Biden campaign are lying assholes and they don't want to show their egg-smeared faces.
Probably for the same reasons Biden never sits down for a serious interview with a non-hack member of the media who isn't in the tank for the Democrats.
