Governed By Idiots: Biden-Harris Commerce Secretary 'Not Familiar' With Bureau Of Labor Statistics

Posted • August 22, 2024: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) dropped an atomic bomb on the Democratic National Convention and on Kamala Harris's campaign today by revising its employment report down by nearly 1,000,000 jobs. This is devastating, the worst downward revision in more than 15 years, and pretty solid proof that Harris, Biden, and their entire administration have been lying to Americans about the 'success' of Bidenomics. This was gigantic news today. Anyone from the administration appearing on television during the DNC -- even with a lapdog media -- had to have expected questions about the jobs report. ESPECIALLY if you are the freaking Secretary of Commerce! But, as has become glaringly obvious over four years, the entire Biden administration is a Confederacy of Dunces. Check out Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo's response to being asked about the numbers:

Reporter: Nearly a million jobs "created" since Kamala took office do not exist.

Raimondo: “I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Trump say anything truthful.”

Reporter: "It is from the Bureau of Labor."

Raimondo: "I'm not familiar with that."

Not familiar with that? Did she mean she's not familiar with the jobs report? As Commerce Secretary? Or, even worse, is she … is she not familiar with the BLS itself? She actually tried to blame the jobs numbers on Donald Trump at the beginning of this interview. Unbelievable … and also not surprising. Democrats genuinely have nothing else. (Also, it was a nice touch of ABC News to call her the 'former Rhode Island governor' in their chyron. Were they aware in advance how much more stupid she would look if they accurately used her current title?) She is the… SECRETARY OF COMMERCE. FFS. Ok folks. Biden's commerce secretary Gina Raimondo (who runs the US Bureau of Economic Analysis) is "not familiar" with the Bureau of Labor Statistics which makes up the monthly jobs report.

We've had to repeat this a few times because we're still a little bit shocked at the utter incompetence on full display. This dumb hack 24 hours ago: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GVijXfIW4AA2VN_?format=jpg&name=medium LOL. In a way, it makes sense. Raimondo is an avid DEI advocate. When the CHIPS Act was passed, she demanded that companies have DEI requirements to be able to get funds. (…)
