Joe Biden and his flacks have repeatedly claimed that it was Joe who lowered the cost of the life-saving drug insulin for American patients. But he is a liar. IT was Trump. And reporter John Roberts has the evidence.

Recently, the cretins running Biden’s campaign said it was a “blatant lie” when Roberts asserted that Trump is the one who lowered the drug’s price.

But in fact, it is Biden who is lying. And the record shows it.

Roberts was not prepared to sit quietly by and be called a liar. So, he brought out the facts.

Per The Blaze:

First, Roberts cited a press release from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in May 2020 announcing the Trump policy. The press released explained the Trump policy would “provide Medicare beneficiaries access to a broad set of insulins at a maximum $35 copay for a month’s supply.”

Second, Roberts cited Tracey Brown, the then-CEO of the American Diabetes Association, who attended a Rose Garden event announcing Trump’s policy. Roberts played a clip of Brown thanking Trump for helping Americans who need insulin. Roberts, moreover, explained that he attended that Rose Garden ceremony.

Third, Roberts cited a story that reported on Trump’s policy.

The newspaper reported at the time:

“The administration has brokered an agreement between insulin manufacturers and some Medicare prescription drug plans that would lower costs for some seniors beginning in 2021 by capping co-pays at $35 for a monthly supply — a figure that administration officials said would lead to roughly a two-thirds drop in out-of-pocket costs and would encourage seniors to continue taking insulin.”

Finally, Roberts cited a report from the Rand Corporation, a left-leaning think tank, that praised Trump’s program.

“We invited a representative from the Biden campaign to come on the program with us to discuss the issue, but thus far they have made no one available,” Roberts concluded.

Yep. It was Biden who is the liar.

But we all knew that ahead of time.
