Trump Ally Kellyanne Conway Blasted For Hypocrisy Over Claiming Biden Administration Has A ‘Facts Problem’

Counselor to former U.S. President Donald Trump Kellyanne Conway claimed the administration of President Joe Biden has a “facts problem,” and quickly got called out for the hypocrisy of her statement.

“This administration doesn't have a messaging problem. They have a fact problem, and it is reflected in the polls. They don't seem to do anything well,” Conway said when she appeared on the Fox News program “The Ingraham Angle,” Thursday night.

Of course, Conway, who became known for using the phrase "alternative facts" often during her tenure, was quickly called out on social media by many who found it ironic that she was saying what she did about the Biden administration based on the lies she had told on behalf of Trump.

According to a PolitiFact page on Kellyanne Conway, 45% of her claims that PolitiFact checked were mostly false and another 45% were straight-up false.

Overall, the Trump administration was often known for false statements and lies, with one report from the Washington Post chronicling the total number of false or misleading claims by the former president at over 30,000 during his entire presidency, while a Forbes article with data from PolitiFact showed he made more false statements in his first 100 days in office than both former President Barack Obama and President Biden combined.

The center of Conway’s ire during her television appearance was that the Biden administration had blamed rising prices on the war between Ukraine and Russia. Conway was quick to point out that inflation had a drastic effect on people’s lives before the war.

“Blaming Putin for the gas prices completely forgets that gas was about $2 a gallon on Election Day 2020. Now it's more than double now, and they had gone up 40% before Russia invaded Ukraine,” Conway pointed out.

Conway echoes similar claims made by Trump, that gas prices were cheaper while he was President. However, the numbers Trump gives to make those claims are often underestimated, according to CNN.

However, according to Conway the Biden administration is “playing the blaming game, name and shame nonsense of Washington. But it would rely on the American people believing it, and they've lost credibility.”

While some rising prices are not directly a result of the President or his policies, voters still aren't entirely thrilled with his overall job performance.

“It's not just partisans saying this, it's all the polls saying this,” said Conway, pointing out how Biden’s approval rating has been low recently. “Every poll out there shows major disapproval . . . from immigration to inflation to the crisis in Ukraine to obviously what we're paying at the grocery store or the gas pump, the supply chain crisis.”
