President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that he had run a campaign free from scandal and critics were quick to point out the errors in that particular statement.

“We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics these days,” Biden said.

Biden made the comments during the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C. — where he also weighed in on the possible political future of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Trump War Room’s Jacob Schneider posted a brief clip from the event along with a caption that read, “BIDEN: ‘We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics.’ (Except covering up his obvious cognitive decline, peddling his family’s influence, hiding classified documents, etc etc etc).”

Critics pushed back on Biden’s claim, laying out a few details that they thought he must have missed when making his assessment.

“Does Joe Biden not know what year it is?” Steve Guest asked, adding, “He’s cooked if he thinks this.”

“Sure, but only if we don’t include – Afghanistan Withdrawal – Illegal alien invasion – Being caught with classified docs – Cocaine in the White House – Chinese Spy Balloon – Medical Emergency forcing him out of the race – Lying about pardoning Hunter,” Shawn Farash posted in response.

“So he won?” Stephen L. Miller added.

“Joe Biden says his entire campaign was ‘scandal free,'” another posted, adding, “Who wants to tell him?”

Biden raised eyebrows just last week when, just days after issuing a sweeping pardon to his embattled son Hunter Biden, he commuted some 1500 sentences in one day.

As The Daily Wire previously reported:

In addition to those granted clemency, Biden said he was also pardoning 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes, including drug offenses. In total, the White House said that Biden’s actions “represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”
