> A statement intended to deceive, even if literally true.
… the tweet is factual only to the extent required to deceive the reader. As the increase is a CPI adjustment, by definition real benefits aren't moving. Then there's the entirety of the problems that are being caused by the worst inflation of my life … that's to be chalked up to the Biden admin's "leadership"?
The context changes the entire tone of the tweet, because it was a lie. The White House deleted it because they got caught in a lie.
The Biden administration should be holding itself to higher standards than this.
