White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett defends President Trump’s decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as the president’s claim that weaker-than-expected jobs reports were “rigged,” but failed to produce any evidence to support Trump’s claim.
I wanna get this straight. March jobs were 225 thousand, then were revised down to like 15 thousand. And he says the proof she was lying.... is that the 225 number was wrong? That she was lying, *for Trump's benefit*?
Well, Hassett’s claims are nonsense. Are you going platforming deceptive propagandists as a policy?
You can see the puppet strings, why are you giving him airtime? Go back to factual, objective news reporting, i dare you.
Everyone’s rigging up a hoax these days
Who else thinks he practices every lie he says, with that smug smile every morning in the mirror, repeatedly?
The economy expanded 1 million percent last quarter. PERIOD!
Just spitballing here, but what if you did not invite proven liars onto your shows?
Bingo! I won’t watch any network or cable news. The decisions are being made by people who love Trump and want him to be King.
You shouldn’t report lies @nbcnews.com Dr Erika McEntarfer deserves better than the repeat of their despicable lies. She doesn’t deserve this.
Of course he does. Brownnosing is all they do. If they wouldn't, they wouldn't have the job in the first place.
The media continues to fail America with promoting liars and NEVER fact checking in real time. You all scared of being bullied by Trump?? Then you shouldn’t be in the news business. DO YOUR JOB!
Facisists
''failed to produce any evidence'' Produce evidence to who ? Investigative Journalists ? America doesn't have 'investigative journalists' worth the title America's politicians are in large part a product of the press failing in its task of shining light onto corruption- trump Sheehey Oz Jordan
Keep going, you’re almost there. What is someone doing if they keep asserting something with no evidence?????
They are all spineless !
Little orange Nero and his pathetic cult followers strike again. It’s almost as if they want you to forget about the #EpsteinFiles and how many pedophiles they are protecting from prosecution.
Of course the Commander In Cheat is going to try to fudge the numbers.
So shocking that his supporters would do this after they did the same thing for years regarding his nonsense about the 2020 election.
This f-ing toadie...
If you're not platforming fascist apologists, are you even doing journalism? 🖕🏼
Seems like a defamation suit there.🤷🏻♂️
We have a government of sycophants.
If he doesn't defend Trump's decision to fire the head of the BLS, he'll lose his job, and he knows it. Same goes for all other officials who don't back Trump. Nobody will know what to believe when they all fudge the figures to please him.
Isn't this the guy who penned Dow 36,000 right before the dot-com crash of 2000? While the Dow plummeted precipitously, the Nasdaq fared even worse. It peaked on March 10, 2000, at 5,048.62. Within a few years, it plummeted, eventually losing 78% of its value. Hassett has no credibility.
This article is total trash. NBC is just a stenographer for Hassett’s lies. Zero fact checking.
Hassett is a total moron chosen to ridicule himself in defence of Trump his sponsor and idol. Pathetic little worm 🪱
There is no evidence to produce. What was produced was evidence of lying.
Hassett is a lying toady.
He can fire everyone that speaks the truth about what his "policies" are doing, but people know the truth when their friends/neighbors/relatives lose their jobs and employers are closing down.
Not even a pencil pusher. He’s a crayon muncher and a koolaid addict.
Craven all of them.
I truly don't understand why the respectable mainstream news media in the USA invite professional liars and propagandists onto their shows and present them as if they were reliable experts. In the olden days, invited "experts" were vetted to weed out the rubbish to protect the channel's reputation.
Another lying fascist licking his leaders Orange ass
Shame
This guy really thinks he can pull this lie off. We know the reports are true! Trump and his corrupt administration has fired a majority of the nation and has handcuffed most news outlets along with the law firms. The reports are NOT rigged.
“Rigged” without any evidence appears to be the MO of this lot.
Well thanks for giving him a platform to lie from, I guess.
When you have people on your shows who have a history of spinning lies and you aren’t very aggressive in your questioning of them, you’re helping them. But then again, you probably know this; it’s just that you are fine helping them if it helps your bottom line.
Hassett had zero credibility even before he joined the Trump administration. Why would you invite him in the first place? 🤨
The line of questioning from the anchor was embarrassing, she should have asked tough questions about the "rigged" claim and repeat how revisions are standard practice and nothing new or abnormal.
Why did you invite him on when you knew what he was going to say was a lie?
We The People can no longer Trust that this Trump administration will give us any truth & facts
Maybe stop inviting known liars onto your shows and giving them airtime. Just a suggestion.
“Rigged” is the word they use when they don’t like the result but can’t explain how or why the result is wrong.
Kneel before me you peasant and do my bidding - dictatorship in action
Will we be able to trust any future Bureau of Labor Statistics or other government agencies data? Will future “messengers” be reluctant to deliver data that doesn’t meet Trump’s expectations?
No and Yes
It is instructive to recall that Trump also suggested slowing down COVID testing: "I said to my people, slow the testing down, please" - Donald Trump
Evidence? You expect a guy like Kevin Hassett to provide evidence? He is just the chair of the White House council of economic advisers Why would anybody in that job need any stinking statistics or evidence?
🐎 💩
I hope someone's keeping a list of these people for when the Magats are dispatched. There will need to be a massive clearout.
Man the dirt on this guy must be terrifying. He's got the face of someone with a sex slave chained in his basement that he beats when he's spittle angry.
He lies so effortlessly. All of these goons in power. America is in deep trouble.
Never any facts from Trump administration just loud voices saying “because I say so”
Why platform liars?
Too bad you didn’t stand up to his & the admin’s nonsense and lies (like how BLS labor data is constantly revised!).
Hassett is a clown show; I never trust a person that smiles all the time that tells me he is not telling the truth, and he knows it.
How about someone actually investigates this and reports the truth?
Sind da nur noch Bekloppte unterwegs?
The song remains the same. Sung on bended knee
🐀
Sore loser. 🤡
Imagine, trump’s sycophants following exactly what trump tells them to say and then the news anchor asks softball questions . Legacy news is dead
Snd you morons keep inviting them on your shows to lie.
Rigged… every time Trump says that specifically he’s full of shit. It’s time to just start putting that in peoples faces. Shit or get off the pot.
The worst propaganda crime of modern day times is NBC's The Apprentice and its Russian asset creator Mark MAGA Burnett 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...
