Biden today repeated the falsest version of his claim about where he’d stood on the Iraq War (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…).
He did not oppose it “from the very moment” Bush went ahead. As @kfile and I have written, he supported the invasion before and for months after it happened.

You can read @KFILE’s debunking of Biden’s similar previous comments here (cnn.com/2019/09/04/pol…). This is now a repeat false claim from him. (And he recently did a less-false but still misleading version, which I wrote about here: cnn.com/2019/12/31/pol….)
Trump has made similar claims, also falsely saying he opposed the war from the beginning when he actually came to his opposition well after the invasion. Trump’s version, naturally, has extra flourishes — he claims his (nonexistent) pre-war public opposition got media coverage.
