So naturally Republicans and their Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) have embarked on a campaign of lies and smears in order to deceive the American people and inflame their MAGA-tized supporters. They are so determined to spread their brand of disinformation that they are even putting critical aid to our allies in Israel and Ukraine at risk on behalf of wealthy corporations and tax cheats.<\/p>\n
SEE THIS: Republicans in Congress are Holding Israelis Hostage to Aid for Wealthy American Tax Cheats<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Democrats are making valiant efforts to counter the Republicans’ fictional dystopian fantasyland. For example, Rep. Ro Khanna of California ventured into the lion’s den of Fox News on Friday to try to expose their viewers to a few facts. He was met by a blatantly biased host who was clearly opposed to truthful information and was determined to prevent any from getting out.<\/p>\n Khanna:<\/strong> Let’s just look at some basic facts. Since the President has come into office almost 14 million jobs were created. Now 70% of those were jobs that were recovered. I grant that. Fox News\u2019 Sandra Smith: \u201cCan you tell me what specific policy under this president created those jobs?\u201d<\/p>\n Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) \u201cYes, I actually can \u2026 The reality is that this was the policy of the American Rescue Plan, of the CHIPS Act \u2026 of the Inflation Reduction Act.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/Qbq3hVf4CP<\/a><\/p>\n — The Recount (@therecount) November 3, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nSmith:<\/strong> Can I just get in there, and I try not to interrupt [as she is interrupting[. “Created” is a very interesting word. Can you tell me what specific policy under this president created those jobs?
\nKhanna:<\/strong> Yes, I actually can. The American Rescue Plan, which put in money into infrastructure and helping people to stay employed in small businesses. The infrastructure bill, which has led to a boom in construction jobs. The Chips Act, which has led to a boom in manufacturing.
\nSmith (interrupting again):<\/strong> The reason I ask is because a lot of that was a rebound from the COVID pandemic, correct? [Khanna already said that]
\nKhanna:<\/strong> Seventy percent of those jobs were recovered from the COVID pandemic. I\u2019m acknowledging that. But here\u2019s the point. You know, it was recovered within two years because of the American Rescue Plan. We could have been in a Great Depression. Give the President credit for the recovery and the creation of new jobs. And the reality is that this was the policy of the American Rescue Plan, of the CHIPS Act, of the Infrastructure, of the Inflation Reduction Act. Four percent unemployment used to be considered full employment in this country. The inflation in this country at 3.7 percent is less than inflation anywhere else in the world.
\nSmith:<\/strong> I got it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
