Critics used the “Community Notes” feature on X (formerly Twitter) to fact-check White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s statement about President Biden’s economic policies.
They asserted that the positive economic news is due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, not Biden’s actions.
This led to conservative users celebrating the fact-check and criticizing Jean-Pierre’s statement. (Trending: US State Unveils Controversial ‘Gender Neutral’ Laws)

Despite the Biden administration’s positive portrayal of the economy, a New York Times/Siena poll showed that over 60% of Democrats feel the economy is “only fair” or “poor.”
“Today, we got more good economic news. 199,000 jobs created last month,” she wrote.
“A total of 14.1 million created under President Biden. That’s Bidenomics in action.”
“It is well documented that nearly 72% of job gains since 2021 are simply jobs recovered that were lost during the pandemic, not created,” the notes clarified.
“Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation,” a U.S. House Budget Committee press release noted.
“In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million.”
“She lies. Gets busted. Then lies again,” filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza wrote of Karine Jean-Pierre.

“Another day, another community note on a White House Tweet,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary Bryan Griffin wrote.
“The Democrats are lying to you. ‘Ignore your reality for our narrative, so we can stay in power.'”
“There’s only one person in this race who can beat the Democrats in November. That’s @RonDeSantis.”
The official account for “Rasmussen Reports” expressed gratitude for the “Community Notes” function, posting, “Good Morning! Where would we be without @CommunityNotes? We’d be back inside Jack Dorsey’s censorship prison.”
“She really just says whatever she wants doesn’t she?” posted XM radio host Andrew Wilkow.
