MSNBC went full steam ahead with ‘gas lighting’ the American people by suggesting the Republican impeachment inquiry into Biden was an effort to distract from a “booming economy.”
You read that right.
The network even went as far as to accuse Republicans for wasting the time of the American people by pushing to impeach Biden.
Via NewsBusters (transcript)
ANDREA MITCHELL: The backdrop, of course, to all of this is inflation is easing, according to the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, all the economic indicators are really looking strong. Strong in a good way, not in a dangerously inflationary way. But the voters don’t seem to be picking up on that.
PETER ALEXANDER: Yeah Andrea. You make a couple good points in that question. Let me get to the first, which is specifically the President’s reaction to that impeachment inquiry. The White House posting a statement from President Biden late yesterday where he described this as a baseless political stunt.
We’ll put it up there that you can read along. He wrote, “Instead of doing anything to help make Americans’ lives better, they” – the Republicans – “are focused on attacking me with lies instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done. They are choosing to waste time on this” – again – “baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”
The President being very critical of those Republicans right now, saying instead of focusing on issues like Ukraine, Israel, and border security, he said Republicans in Congress won’t act to help. Repeating that multiple times in his statement.
And the White House, having spoken to aides to the President earlier today, they are warning about the potential for this to have a real impact on the economy going forward.
