The political fact checking site ‘Politifact,’ itself long accused of pro-liberal bias, has now turned on the Biden White House, labeling a recent statement by Press Secretary Jen Psaki as ‘false,’

As The Daily Wire reports:

PolitiFact has hit White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki with a “false” rating over her claim about how economists feel about President Joe Biden’s spending agenda.

Psaki has repeatedly said that economists back Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better bill. Last week, for instance, Psaki told reporters that “no economist out there is projecting that this will have a negative impaction inflation.”

PolitiFact cited some economists as proof. “I’m an economist, and I disagree,” Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the center-right American Action Forum, told the fact-checking site.

“We know there’s lots of spending in the bill, and that it’s front-loaded” into the earlier years, he said. “If you cut taxes and increase spending, financed by debt, that will put upward pressure on inflation.”

The label comes in the wake of increasing dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the economy according to multiple polls.

  1. “There isn’t an economist out there…” and she knows this because she has talked to every one of them? The statement can’t possibly true so it is no great thing that PolitiFact called it False.

  2. She strikes me as a smug POS that can’t be stupid enough to believe the drivel that comes out of her pie hole. Or does she?

    1. She is being paid to TELL lies not believe them. Only a fool would believe anything any Biden mouth piece has to say!

  3. Actually based on HER view and that of the communist democrat party, this will not have a negative effect on the economy because they WANT inflation and they want to destroy the country. So a negative effect to them would be to lower inflation, which it won’t do. So if you look at it from their perspective, this is all positive – MORE inflation and the destruction of the US economy. It’s the communist democrat party’s dream – and those demonrats in DC are all for this!

  4. Psaki just says what she is told to say. She is not very bright and a total submissive so she can’t do otherwise. She would be hard pressed to find an objective economist that agreed with her!!

  5. communist democrat pedophile supporting racist cult party doesn’t care how it destroys our country. they will either bankrupt us into a depression or give us to the Chinese on a silver platter!

  6. Stunning.
    The Left eats itself.
    Build back better is analogous to cranial rectal insertion.
    Of course democrats love it.
    It’s continued suicide by 1000 cuts
