Biden told FNC’s David Spunt on Saturday that when he said the WSJ’s report was “garbage” he was referring to the figure of $450,000.

“Let’s get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000. The number I was referring to.”

“Now here’s the thing,” Biden said. “If, in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you were coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal, and you lost your child. You lost your child, [your child] is gone, you deserve some kind of compensation! No matter what the circumstances.”
