Biden gets brutal fact check after pulling fast one to ‘affirm’ Equal Rights Act now part of Constitution

Joe Biden has never been so busy as he has been in the last weeks occupying the Oval Office.

“The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of sex,” Biden brazenly announced on Friday.

There’s just one big problem … a U.S. president can’t just amend and/or ratify the Constitution on a whim, but that fact was lost on at least one sitting senator.

New York Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand was licking her chops at the thought of thwarting Donald Trump’s incoming administration and celebrated Biden’s imaginary new “28th Amendment” on X calling the move an “incredible moment for reproductive freedom.”

“Especially with Americans facing the further degradation of reproductive freedom as the incoming administration takes power,” Gillibrand’s post continued. “Now, women living in states with restrictions on their reproductive freedoms can – and should – file suits to overturn these unconstitutional laws that discriminate on the basis of sex. I know they will have ample support as they seek justice, and I promise to stand by their side in this fight.”

Unfortunately for Biden and Gillibrand, but gratefully for America, a Constitutional Republic doesn’t work like that. It didn’t take long for Biden’s “28th Amendment” declaration to get hit with a brutal reality check:

“The Archivist of the United States, charged with officially publishing ratified amendments, has confirmed that the ERA was not ratified and based that analysis on binding legal precedent.
There is no 28th Amendment,” the fact-checking system “Community Notes” posted on X in response.

Ouch.

X users were at the ready to scold Biden for the presumed overreach:

Three more days!

Gillibrand was also Community Noted and got a BRUTAL online lashing as well:
