During an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who appeared in her personal capacity, said that she was “not familiar with” the Bureau of Labor Statistics revising the number of jobs created down by over 800,000.
Host Kayna Whitworth asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:00] “I am curious as to your thoughts on today, the Bureau of Labor [Statistics] saying that more than 800,000 fewer jobs were actually created than initially reported. And I — we have a soundbite here…because Donald Trump is already addressing this on the campaign trail.”

Yes.
Is there ANY lie too big for these people?! Of course she knew. How could she not?
The commerce secretary’s name must be Joe Biden. Or dementia is a contagious disease and Joe passed it to the commerce secretary.
“Define familiarity”
I think they actually search very carefully for the most easily manipulated and basically completely clueless individuals they can recruit.
They’re patsies who can be sacrificed when needed.
That’s a four billion dollar loss to the US Treasury, not including the outlay for unemployment. ($4,000,000,000)
I found it particularly amusing when her reaction to the facts was to first call Trump a liar. The reporter told her that the numbers were government adjustments and it was like she stuck her fingers in her ears so she wouldn’t have to listen.
Average salary withholding for federal taxes, plus social security taxes on the part of employee and employer. And that’s on 1995 wages.
Most cabinet officials are stupid political hacks—has been that way for many decades.
Their main job is to repeat talking points given to them by White House staff and cut dirty deals with big contributors.
The subject matter experts are usually career employees—and the Department Secretary probably does not even know their names.
For example, roll a 2 and a 4. That makes 6. Therefore, 600,000 jobs were created last month.
See? It’s easy. And it takes only one person. Lay off everyone else in the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The problem is the ABC reporter asked about her ‘thoughts’...............She doesn’t have any............
She didn’t even address the question, first tried to say Trump lied, then the reporter told her the numbers came from her own Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Then she went off on a rant about how great Harris economic plan is which doesn’t exist...............MORON HACK TWERP...........
She was the governor of RI. How is she qualified to be Secretary of Commerce? She’s obviously clueless and nothing but a partisan hack, but that shouldn’t be enough IMO. No wonder we’re doing so poorly economically.
If she is not lying, she’s incompetent, obviously...perfect match for this administration.
They need to add a few more dice. Scavenge some from a Yahtzee game.
Think of how great the jobs report would be if they had MORE dice.
Hold it... this might be Kumala’s brilliant economic plan!!!!
She’s an idiot and that's okay.
She drinks all night and she sleeps all day.
In a sick pathetic way this criminality is funny. Invest in rope.
