Daily Mail and Fux Nois pushed misleading claims about Biden limiting meat consumption. [View all]
Conservatives like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene lashed out at the president over it.
False claims about President Joe Biden's plans for addressing the climate crisis spread online over the past few days, but the lack of truth over the claims didn't stop Republican lawmakers from responding to or repeating them.
The Daily Mail published a story Thursday with a headline that began "How Biden's climate plan could limit you to eat just one burger a MONTH." It included unsubstantiated claims that to meet Biden's plan Americans would need to "cut 90% of red meat out of diet" and "only eat 4lbs a year."
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas shared a screenshot from Fox News that echoed the claims, labeled as "Biden climate requirements," along with the limit of "one burger per month."
The Fox News host Larry Kudlow said: "Speaking of stupid, there's a study coming out of the University of Michigan which says that to meet the Biden Green New Deal targets, America has to, get this, America has to stop eating meat, stop eating poultry and fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, and animal-based fats."
