The Biden administration argued Wednesday that a deleted White House tweet touting Social Security increases was removed because it was "incomplete."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at Wednesday's briefing that the tweet, which credited President Joe Biden for the “biggest increase” in Social Security checks in a decade, should have included other contextual information. The tweet read: “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.”
It was removed after Twitter marked it with a “context” note to explain that, under a 1972 law, Social Security increases are adjusted based on the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, not presidential action.Jean-Pierre said the tweet should have included details about how Medicare premiums will decrease for the first time in over a decade.
“Those are the types of contexts that would normally be with a tweet like that, and it did not have that context. It was an incomplete tweet, as I just mentioned, and so that’s why you saw the digital team take that action,” she said.
