Jessica Tarlov Takes Charlie Hurt To Task For Lying About Inflation Rate Trump Inherited
These liars on Fox just repeat this stuff ad nauseam. It's about time one of them was finally corrected.
During a discussion on this Friday's The Five about James Carville's ridiculous rant saying that Trump is "done," and calling him a "loser," as though his cult base is ever going to move away from him, Fox & Friends Weekend host Charlie Hurt repeated the lie that I've heard him tell countless times along with most of the hosts on that network, that Trump inherited 9 percent inflation from Joe Biden.
He finally had someone there to remind him that he's full of crap. Of course, that didn't sit too well with the other serial liar on the show, Jesse Watters, who was just gloating that Trump looked like he was "on top of his game" when trying to rebutt Carville.
HURT: I think what they're hoping is that they can, like, change, you know, turn the entire topic to talk about this affordability thing, which is, I think is an important, that's a good topic to talk about.
Of course, it's what got Donald Trump elected in the first place. The problem for Democrats is that if you want to talk about affordability, I don't know how you talk about that now, at a moment after years of ignoring, you know, how do you get worked up over 2.9 percent inflation after spending years of ignoring 9 percent inflation?
WATTERS: Jessica Tarlov, would you like to answer that question?
