Snopes admits Biden wore construction hard hat backwards in 'fact check' reversal
The left-leaning fact check site Snopes reversed one of its rulings this weekend to admit that President Biden did, in fact, wear a construction hard hat backwards.
Biden was pictured during a visit to union workers in Wisconsin alongside Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. The photo clearly shows Biden wearing the hard hat backwards, with the strap and tightening knob clearly visible.
Snopes' initial fact check, published Friday, attempted to explain the appearance.
"The photo is genuine. And it does look, at first glance, like Biden was wearing that hard hat backwards. But after comparing it to other photos and videos of the same event, we were forced to reach the opposite conclusion: The hat on Biden's head was facing forward, bill to the front, not backward," Snopes claimed.
Social media users blasted the determination, however, as hard hats universally have the tightening strap on the back. After weathering a storm on social media, Snopes offered an update reversing the fact check.
"The prevailing counter-argument is that if the suspension of the hat has been purposely configured by its owner such that the bill and tightening knob are worn to the back (as was the case of the hat Biden wore), to wear that hat with the bill facing forward is, practically speaking, to wear it backwards. Therefore, it's argued, it's actually true that, in the photo op discussed below, Biden was wearing it backwards. The strap and tightening knob, which should have been behind Biden's head, were on his forehead."

So many people believe these fact checkers.
A lot post on this board.
When really it’s dem operatives paying to control narrative.
One of the reasons I gave up on Facebook. So many people using snopes to say, orange man bad.
Pretty crazy. And some of these guys say they are lawyers.

The crazy thing is that lying is so second nature that these dickwads even do it about trivial matters no one gives a shite about.
Remember the old adage, "It's nit a lie if you believe it yourself"?

I guarantee you and snopes have regurgitated the same garbage.

Honestly other than Joe Biden being a complete idiot sometimes people do wear their hardhats backwards just for the hell of it. So this is really not a big deal. I really don’t know why Snopes lied about it

One reversal down.
How many thousands to go?

So yesterday if we said Biden wore his hat backwards we were guilty of disinformation. But today, by the grace of snopes, we would be speaking the truth.

True except that it was actually a body double.

That had to be a set-up by the Union workers. They could have fixed the hat for the idiot before the photo. Heck, one of the people in the photo probably said it would be cool it he wore a hard hat and put it on him backwards. Great troll. I am going with the guy on his right. He has that look of someone who knows he has the best prank going if he can pull it off without somebody fixing the hat. The fact that it got through his handlers before it was sent out to the AP shows how unaware these politicians, their handlers, and journalists are.

Someone dresses this invalid every morning. The fact that he put a hard hat on backward hardly registers. We're handicapped at the head. The world is watching. Frankly, anyone who votes for four more years of this is an enemy.

I'd estimate that 50% of Ironworkers wears their helmet like this.

Most welders now have 2 hard hats. One backwards for welding and one straight for oshA

I am in no way defending Biden. But surely one of his handlers or the guys smiling in the pic would have told him it was backwards. Probably put it on that way intentionally.
