“Republicans and Fox News pundits are misleading Americans on the state of the economy. These people are willing to lie so brazenly and shamelessly about anything. There’s no doubt that there are serious issues, between inflation and the supply chain crisis, but last night Fox host Laura Ingraham tried to compare the economic records of Trump and Biden in the most deceptive way possible with a graphic that blamed Biden for the fact that 3 million fewer Americans were working in October 2021 compared with when Trump was president in December 2019. Huh, I can’t remember, did anything major happen between those two numbers? I’m sorry if I was a little foggy, I was trapped in an attic for a few months wiping down doorknobs with Lysol and hoarding the last scraps of toilet paper I could buy off the black market while slowly descending into a madness so fully encompassing that for long stretches of time, I could only hear my own thoughts in the voice of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.” —Seth Meyers
“Not only are Republicans and Fox News lying about the economy, they’re also so fundamentally opposed to addressing those issues or even having a functioning government that they’re now threatening to purge any members from their ranks who voted for Biden’s infrastructure bill. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, called the 13 representatives who voted for the bill ‘traitors’, while the former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said they should be stripped of their committee assignments. That’s where we’re at now, keeping roads and bridges from falling apart is considered giving Democrats a win, instead of something good for the country.” —Seth Meyers
