Are Democrats starting to panic a little bit? Because it feels like they are panicking a little bit, and Nancy Pelosi illustrated that on Monday.
Appearing on MSNBC, the former Speaker of the House flipped out on Katy Tur, accusing her of being an "apologist for Donald Trump." I don't think I have to explain how ludicrous it is to accuse anyone on television's most far-left network of being a fan of the former president. That's where we are, though.
YIKES: Crazy Nancy Pelosi SNAPS at Katy Tur for reminding her that Biden's job "gains" are really jobs recovered from the pandemic pic.twitter.com/MCUBaOTCap— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 29, 2024
PELOSI: And Joe Biden is doing that. He created nine million jobs in his term in office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president so we just have to make sure people know.
TUR: That was a global pandemic.
(awkward silence)
PELOSI: He had the worst record of any president. We've had other concerns in our country. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain't mine
TUR: I don't think anybody can accuse me of that
Katy Tur is a left-winger through and through. To suggest she's an apologist for Donald Trump is like suggesting Barack Obama is a fan of Ted Cruz. It's so ridiculous that you can only question the mental capacity of the person who made the charge.
This is what Democrats do, though. They are so used to having praise lavished upon them by the press that even the smallest amount of pushback sends them into fits of rage. MSNBC hosts provide a never-ending stream of Democratic Party propaganda, and not even they are safe from ridicule the moment they stumble upon the truth.
The cold hard truth is that Joe Biden's economic record is smoke and mirrors. We all know about the insanely high inflation and interest rates. You can't live in America and not feel the pressure of prices cumulatively climbing an eye-watering 20 percent under the current president. Yet, even Biden's "successes" have largely been driven by the end of COVID-19, which was a self-inflicted economic downturn.
Claiming that Biden created nine million jobs is utter nonsense. Most of those jobs were temporarily lost because of government-mandated lockdowns. They were always coming back. A one-legged baboon could have created "nine million jobs" given the context.
But again, what's most important is how we got there. "Bidenomics" has resulted in the worst outcomes possible for everyone but the ultra-wealthy. The United States could have taken its medicine and suffered a short-lived recession following the re-opening of the economy during the pandemic. Instead, politicians like Biden spent the nation into oblivion to avoid the political consequences of a technical downturn. The results have been crushing price increases and interest rates that have prevented anyone in the middle class from building wealth.
Why do so many Americans think the economy is bad? Because they see it in their own bank accounts. Pelosi can gaslight and lash out, but this isn't a messaging issue. It's a reality issue, and right now, the reality of the economy is that it's not working for normal people.
Pelosi can’t tolerate anyone not sucking her a$$.
She always goes this way if theres the slightest resistance. Its the only move she has.
I know America hasn’t always done the right thing, but what in the world did we ever do to deserve this wretched woman in our politics?
“He created 9 million undocumented voters in his term.”
Mustn’t call out the talking corpse’s lies!
“but what in the world did we ever do to deserve this wretched woman in our politics.”
We tolerated the people who voted for her.
That’s what.
L
shes not all brighteyed😎 if you look and the very quick rising to anger gives me the impression she is hungover😎
“Why do so many Americans think the economy is bad? Because they see it in their own bank accounts.”
Much more than personal bank accounts. They see:
Double digit price increases at the grocery store plus shrinking container sizes..
Ever present begging and panhandling by homeless people in public.
Empty storefronts in malls and strip shopping centers.
Huge cost inflation and declining service in medical care. Plus the hassles of dealing with mountains of paperwork and faceless insurance companies.
Skyrocketing real estate prices, property taxes and insurance costs.
Small starter homes being gobbled up by corporations and rented out to multiple migrant families. Many young adults are priced out of the housing market.
Presence of gangs and organized theft rings in previously safe middle class neighborhoods. Complete indifference of law enforcement and politicians to criminal predators.
Crumbling public infrastructure - roads, bridges, buildings. Meanwhile bankrupt corrupt urban governments spend billions of dollars building sports arenas for professional sports teams owned by billionaires.
A rapid breakdown of key pillars supporting a modern civilized society - military, education, medical care, government at all levels, religion, journalism, the justice system.
Inability to find and hire skilled tradespeople for home repairs, mechanical work and other services, despite 100 million working age people not being in the workforce.
Most recently the highly publicized collapse of commercial aviation.
Constant and shameless lying by politicians, bureaucrats, educators, journalists, corporate leaders on every subject. Truth is no longer a virtue and is no longer expected. Trust in people and institutions is at an all time low.
When everything around you is breaking down, it is impossible to perceive the economy is good.
The Dem positions are indefensible and hence the mass censorship.
It’s almost as if this is the first time that she had to respond to the point.
That’s a result of rarely if ever being challenged or the outcome of censorship.
Democrats are in a panic now that trump and desantis are on the same page.
We know that it’s REALLY bad when the democrats are trying to put lipstick on a Kamala.
A "mama-la!"
hello paul, ITS HAMMER TIME
Gas at $3.75 a gallon...milk at $3 a gallon...and mortgage rates at 7.5% wouldn't be a problem for her at all.
Obamala
Time for Pelosi to be put out to pasture.
Flipped?
How can you tell??
“..plus shrinking container sizes..“
I opened a pack of Nathan’s hot dogs last night and the size of the dogs therein is almost funny. They are beyond small.
Let’s not forget that when unemployment soared under Obama, Pelosi was out front telling us how great unemployment checks were for the economy....
