When Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was asked if the 818,000 jobs supposedly created by the Biden/Harris White House which later turned out to not exist was a “liability” for Kamala’s campaign, she said she ‘didn’t believe’ the numbers.
Yes, really.
In a shock announcement yesterday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the nonfarm payroll figure had been revised down by 818,000, meaning the U.S. economy created that number of fewer jobs than originally reported in the 12-month period through March 2024.
The actual job growth was therefore “nearly 30% less than the initially reported 2.9 million from April 2023 through March of this year,” reported CNBC, the largest downward revision in 15 years.
Despite the number being a manifestly provable fact announced by the government itself, Raimondo claimed it was all a lie invented by Donald Trump.
“When you hear that do you think these new numbers could potentially be a liability for this campaign?” she was asked by an ABC News reporter.
“No, when I hear that, first of all, I don’t believe it, because I’ve never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful,” responded Raimondo.
