Facebook Weaponizes Fake Fact-Check To Censor Posts Blaming Joe Biden For High Gas Prices

Facebook appeared to censor a meme on Wednesday that placed blame for high gas prices on President Joe Biden, citing a USA Today fact-check to justify the censorship.

“Fact check: Rising gas prices due to high demand and low supply, not Biden’s policies,” a pop-up explained, with a link to the supposed fact-check from USA Today.

In the paper’s nearly 1,500-word attempt to exonerate Biden’s aggressive climate agenda as the culprit for seven-year-high gas prices, USA Today explained that surging costs as the gas pump were a product of post-pandemic demand outpacing supply met with an already upward trend as shown below.
