Joe Biden got fact-checked yesterday by Twitter users after claiming to be the “Most pro-union president in American history.”
The tweet from Biden came as his nominee for labor secretary, Julie Su, appeared before the Senate for a hearing where she answered questions about her qualifications.
“I make no apologies for being the most pro-union president in American history,” Biden declared in the tweet.
In the response, a note of context was added by Twitter along with a Reuters article that threw cold water on Biden’s claim.
“On December 22, 2022, President Biden signed a bill to block the railroad union from striking,” the article explained.
I make no apologies for being the most pro-union president in American history.

A number of Twitter users mocked Biden for his claim and the subsequent context note:

Conservative show host Jason Mitchell told Biden, “Well we make no apologies for saying you’re the worst president in the United States history Joe Biden.”
