Joe Biden appeared to have his facts way off regarding the Obama administration’s record on granted clemency during the NBC town hall Monday night.

Biden was on the defensive during an exchange with town hall moderator Lester Holt, who pressed the Democratic nominee about his criminal justice record, invoking the inaction when Democrats controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress while President Trump signed the First Step Act into law.

“[Trump] points to the Criminal Justice Reform Bill. As you and Barack Obama served at a time when you had both houses of Congress and still couldn’t get some of these things done,” Holt said.

Well, analysis from The Federalist shows that Biden’s estimate was off by nearly 90 percent.
