“The economy is booming, inflation is down. People are having an easier time putting bread on the table.”
In the same week that credit rating agency Fitch downgraded the United States’ credit from AAA to AA+, partially because President Biden refused to negotiate on the debt ceiling with Republicans until the 11th hour, multimillionaire and co-host of ABC’s The View, Joy Behar whined that Biden was not getting “credit” for a “booming” economy. She falsely suggested that “inflation is down” and that average Americans were “having an easier time putting bread on the table.”
After the liberal ladies spent a chunk of time hyperventilating about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) had accepted California Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) debate challenge, Joy Behar flipped out after hearing about a New York Times/Siena poll that found former President Trump could possibly beat President Biden in a rematch.
As Joy grilled the 34-year-old on her reasons for not voting for Biden, Alyssa laughed and yelled out: ‘Joe Biden is not doing poorly because I won’t vote for Joe Biden!’
However, the conversation between Sunny and Alyssa soon broke down into a shouting match – prompting Joy, 80, to reprimand them both, urging them to speak ‘one at a time’, before describing the segment as ‘chaos’. The moderator, who was standing in for Whoopi Goldberg, started the conversation about Biden and told the rest of the panel: ‘Let me just say something about Joe Biden. According to what I’m observing, the economy is booming, inflation is down. The stock market is doing well. People are having an easier time putting bread on the table, et cetera.
‘He doesn’t seem to be getting the credit for that, only 41 per cent approval. Is it because they think he’s old? Because I don’t see anything else they can point to with him particularly.’
Alyssa responded and said: ‘Well that’s a question for Democrats?’ but Joy was having none of it and fired back bluntly: ‘Well, no it’s a question for you really because you said you would not vote for Biden.’
‘We’re talking about my vote, my one vote,’ Alyssa responded as Sunny chimed in and told her: ‘Every vote counts and your vote counts. I’m going to tell you again and I know you don’t want to hear it.’
