China Joe Biden has been caught lying again. Even the Washington Post gave him four Pinocchios for this whopper.

Media fueling 'false narrative' used to boycott Georgia

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution issued a major correction to its report of President Biden's false claim that a new law in the state cuts back on voting hours.

Biden, however, has doubled down, even after the Washington Post fact-checker gave him "four Pinocchios."

But the paper said in its correction: "A previous version of this story said the new law would limit voting hours. On Election Day in Georgia, polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and if you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot. Nothing in the new law changes those rules."

The newspaper noted the law made some changes to early voting and adds "second mandatory Saturday of early voting for general elections but removes two weeks of early voting before runoffs."

Biden claimed the law signed by Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp made it harder for working-class people to vote.

"What I'm worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick," Biden said. "Deciding that you’re going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work."

A day later, he said, "Among the outrageous parts of this new state law, it ends voting hours early so working people can’t cast their vote after their shift is over."

"Not a single expert we consulted who has studied the law understood why Biden made this claim, as this was the section of law that expanded early voting for many Georgians," Kessler wrote.
