GOP strategist mocked after being fact-checked by X over Biden snub claim

Republican pollster and strategist Frank Luntz recently deleted a post from X after the platform issued a "Community Note" on his claim that President Joe Biden snubbed "racially diverse" Milwaukee and instead paid a visit to “predominantly white Green Bay."

“It’s his first Wisconsin appearance in 2 years, so why is Joe Biden going to predominantly white Green Bay rather than more racially diverse Milwaukee or college town Madison?" Luntz wrote in the now-deleted post.

The Community Note that appeared beneath the post pointed out that it was Biden's "10th trip to [Wisconsin] as president and 3rd this year."

"He was in Milwaukee 3 weeks ago and has announced a trip to Madison on Monday," the note added.

Luntz's post included an article from NBC26 which contradicted his claim. The article pointed out that Biden was in Milwaukee three weeks ago and was not going to Green Bay, but was going to Madison instead.

While the post was live, Luntz was called out for the false claim by numerous Biden supporters, including some from the White House and Biden's campaign.

"President Biden was in *Milwaukee* two weeks ago. Donald Trump returns to Wisconsin today for the first time in two years," wrote the director for Biden's Rapid Response, Ammar Moussa.

"Frank Luntz if you don’t know what you are talking about… there is a thing called GOOGLE… use it! The next trip will be his tenth," wrote Democratic activist Jaime Harrison.

"Geez Frank Luntz, do you bother to do a fact check before tweeting? He was in Milwaukee on March 13," wrote podcaster Roland Martin. "This ain’t that hard."

"Perhaps he needs a cognitive test? His memory and reading comprehension seem to be fading," wrote actor and Biden supporter George Takei.

Luntz issued no apology after deleting the post.
