The coverups and excuses aren’t working
Summary
David Pakman critiques Kevin Hassett’s absurd excuses for missing GDP growth forecasts, debunking claims of a Trump-led manufacturing boom with data showing job losses. He analyzes suspicious timing in Mitch McConnell’s “proof of life” photos and warns that Republicans are preemptively alleging election fraud to reject midterm results. Pakman also highlights Fox News admitting Trump’s signature bill is politically toxic and discusses Republican fears of facing congressional investigations if Democrats win the House.
