No. She's replying to Jordan's tweet that was comparing gas prices last year with now, which is why the unemployment rate last year was brought up because it's relevant to gas prices last year.

If she is tying gas prices to unemployment rate she isn’t doing good at the making the argument she thinks she is making.

So Gym Jordan makes a stupid crack about "Biden's economy" using pandemic-level gas prices compared to today's gas prices, and we're supposed to recognize that as an example of why Biden's bad for the economy.

 

Jen Psaki skewers Gym's nonsense with another equally-useless comparison of unemployment today compared to the height of the pandemic.

 

And people have an issue with Psaki and not Gym.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have an issue with both it seems if you read the actual comments

I agree that she isn't doing a good job of tying the two together.  If she is doing what others think, then she probably is doing a comparison to show how stupid his comment was.  Like...."well, if you're going to make the gas prices argument, then I can make the unemployment argument."  Which, proves that using either one to prove one President is good and the other one is bad....is stupid.

 

Sad thing is, a hell of a lot of Americans fall for this crap.

I thought it was obvious that's what she was doing.

Probably so and maybe I took it wrong at the beginning of this conversation.

 

Either way, Gym is an idiot.

A nefarious and evil idiot who looks the other way when vulnerable people are being abused. 

 

Not the kind of person whose word I would be amplifying.

no.  But, let's say she was.  Are you saying Republicans wouldn't be praising themselves at this point for improving unemployment so much since last year?

 

I'm sure they would. Not so sure why that matters.

Because both are BS.

Lest we forget who it was that ballooned the national debt.

“Despite the recent drop in prices, lumber still costs about 80% more now than it did before the pandemic — a premium that builders say is adding tens of thousands of dollars to the price of a new home.”

I have MAGA friends who keep claiming that the reason oil prices have risen is because Biden has banned all drilling on public lands.

 

 

Hmmmm.....
