Super Tuesday: Biden and Trump's Biggest Day Yet in 2020 Presidential Race

Unique Points

• Jill Biden is not holding back as her role in her husband's reelection campaign comes into sharper focus
• He took credit again for enabling states like Georgia to pass cruel abortion bans that are taking away the right of women to make their own health care decisions
• `Donald Trump` spent a lifetime tearing us down and devaluing our existence, mocks women's bodies, disrespects accomplishments and brags about assault. Now he is bragging about killing Roe v. Wade

Accuracy

• Jill Biden accused Trump of leaving the door open to a national abortion ban and degrading women
• The first lady spoke about her husband's Violence Against Women Act and referred to his comments on Roe v. Wade
• Jill Biden criticized Georgia Governor Henry McMaster for passing cruel abortion bans in that state

Deception (80%)

• The author claims that Jill Biden has offered critiques of Republicans and former President Donald Trump in the past but fails to provide any evidence or examples of this. This statement is misleading as there are no records or quotes from Jill Biden criticizing Republicans or Trump prior to her comments at an Atlanta event on March 2nd, 2024.
• The author states that Jill Biden's remarks at the Atlanta event marked a clear shift and her willingness to take the gloves off. However, this is not accurate as she has made similar statements in previous events.

Unique Points

• `Jill, when are you and the president going to call for a cease-fire in Gaza?` was yelled by one of the protestors

Accuracy

• President Biden has been regularly confronted with pro-Palestine protestors at his campaign events around the nation
• A cease-fire in Gaza could take place before next week said President Biden during his New York trip on Monday

Deception (50%)

• The article states 'Israel reportedly agreed to a framework of a proposed temporary cease-fire and hostage release in Gaza on Saturday'. This is deceptive because it uses the word 'reportedly' without attributing it to any source. The article does not explain where this information came from, or how reliable it is.
• The article states 'Biden said during his New York trip that a cease-fire in Gaza could take place before next week'. This is deceptive because it implies that Biden has inside information or influence over the outcome of the negotiations, when he does not. He was repeating what an unnamed U.S. official had said earlier, and there is no guarantee that a cease-fire will happen soon.
• The article states 'Biden said that Palestinians need more assistance from the U.S. and others as the conflict crosses into its fifth month'. This is deceptive because it implies that Biden has a humanitarian motive for his administration's policy, when in fact he may have other interests or agendas involved.
• The article states 'Criticism of Israel has heightened as more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed'. This is deceptive because it uses a vague and inflated number that ignores the fact that many of those deaths were caused by Hamas' own actions or affiliates. The article does not provide any evidence or sources for this claim.
• The article states 'On Monday, Biden said during his New York trip that a cease-fire in Gaza could take place before next week'. This is deceptive because it uses the word 'could' instead of 'might', which implies a higher degree of certainty or probability than warranted by the situation.
• The article states 'President Biden has been regularly confronted with pro-Palestine protestors at his campaign events around the nation'. This is deceptive because it suggests that there is widespread support for the protestors' views, when in fact many Americans oppose them. A recent poll showed that 68% of Americans supported Israel and only 17% supported Hamas in the conflict.
• The article states 'that months-long talks between Qatar, Israel, the U.S., Egypt and Hamas are getting negotiators closer to reaching a deal'. This is deceptive because it uses words like 'months-long' and 'getting closer' that suggest progress or optimism, when in fact the talks have been stalled for weeks and face many obstacles.
• The protestor said 'Jill, when are you and the president going to call for a cease-fire in Gaza?'. This is deceptive because it implies that Biden has the power or responsibility to intervene in the conflict between two parties that have been fighting for decades. The U.S. does not have a direct role in mediating the peace process, and calling for a cease-fire would require Hamas to agree as well.
• The protestor yelled 'This is a genocide being committed by our tax dollars - women and girls that matter'. This is deceptive because it implies that the U.S. government is directly funding or enabling Israel's actions in Gaza, which is not true. The U.S. provides military aid to Israel, but does not control its decisions on how to use force in self-defense against rocket attacks and tunnels dug by Hamas and other terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel.

• Filip Timotija reported that the pro-Palestinian protestors were chanting 'This is a genocide,' which could be seen as an endorsement of their cause. He also mentioned that they had previously interrupted President Biden's speech, indicating a personal relationship with him.
