Congressman Tom Kean Jr. Fact Check: Is He Really the Ghostwriter Behind Biden’s State of the Union Address? Viral Rumor Investigated
A viral social media post is claiming that Congressman Tom Kean Jr. secretly penned key passages of President Joe Biden's recent State of the Union address, alleging that the New Jersey Republican was "paid $50,000 by a shadowy super PAC to write the 'unity' sections." We investigated. This claim is completely fake. There is zero evidence, no credible source, and no financial disclosure indicating Kean had any role in writing executive speeches. The rumor appears to have originated from a satirical website with the fictional headline "GOP Lawmaker Caught SEO Spaming in Biden's Teleprompter." Congressman Kean Jr.'s official spokesman denied the report, calling it "nonsense designed to distract from his actual bipartisan work on infrastructure." Do not share this false claim—it is a fabricated hoax.
