And now we're watching that they are trying to cheat within elections, inflation at a number we have not seen. This is Jimmy Carter on steroids.
Trying to liken President Joe Biden's tenure to the 1970s era of former President Jimmy Carter, which was beset by inflation and oil-related challenges, McCarthy claimed that oil prices are now "the highest that we have seen."
Facts First: McCarthy was wrong. Oil prices under Biden are not even close to the highest we have ever seen. Crude prices peaked in 2008 under Republican President George W. Bush -- more than double their level at the time McCarthy's interview aired Sunday. Crude prices were also higher at various points under Republican President Donald Trump than they were on Sunday.

he tells me where to send the money, i’ll happily pay him. it’s an absurdly stupid thing for McCarthy to say. but he’s not “republicans”, he’s one idiot.
the fact that wayne didn’t post this, tells me he had no idea that mccarthy said it. but he did say it, he should absolutely be called out on it because it’s such a absurdly stupid lie to tell, and i’ll happily give wayne the $100 if he tells me where to send it.
and i’ll never take mccarthy seriously again, never.
fair enough?
