The Biden campaign recently accused John Roberts of lying about a Trump era policy that Biden is trying to take credit for and they are now living to regret it.
Roberts took to the airwaves on Wednesday and disproved the Biden campaign’s accusation and he brought all of the receipts to back up his argument.
You can tell from the way Roberts addresses this that he is not cool with what Biden’s people tried to do here.

This is the Biden team tweet that started this:
Fox host tries to claim Trump, not President Biden, capped insulin at $35/month
FACT CHECK: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, President Biden did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 wants to repeal it, which would raise… pic.twitter.com/iDrrBKEIhf

And here is the absolutely brutal response from Roberts:

After providing the receipts showing it was Trump, not Biden, who capped insulin costs, John adds: “We invited a… pic.twitter.com/PV0Ma1Nnir
