A top Biden economic official was ridiculed by social media users for her jaw-dropping comments about major job revisions that show the rosy spin about the economy has all been disinformation.
Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was being interviewed by ABC News at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago when anchor Kayna Whitworth brought up the agency’s adjustment acknowledging that 818,000 jobs that have been touted by the administration and its stooges never existed.
Whitworth played a clip of former President Donald J. Trump accusing the administration of lying about the numbers at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. “I am curious as to your thoughts on today the Bureau of Labor saying that more than 800,000 fewer jobs were actually created than initially reported,” she asked.
Harris-Biden Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo says she doesn’t believe new government data that shows almost a million of the jobs the Harris-Biden admin claimed to have “created” don’t actually exist.

Raimondo, the former Democrat governor of Rhode Island, at first seemed to dismiss the GOP nominee’s remarks as misinformation before Whitworth informed her that they came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“No. When I hear that, first of all, I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful,” she said, the standard blame it on Trump response from a Democrat.
Whitworth responded, “It is from the Bureau of Labor.”
“I’m not familiar with that,” Raimondo said, even though the report had been issued hours earlier and was reported on for the last two days.
Incompetence has been a big characteristic of the DEI-obsessed Biden administration but it was still stunning to hear the ignorance – or a flat-out fib – about such a significant downward revision from one of the top economic officials in the country, and X users reacted.
This person is allegedly the Secretary of Commerce.

There’s only so much you can fake or hide before things come crashing down. Biden’s decline, cooking the books on the economy, redefining “recession,” etc. https://t.co/HdX88puwKo

Why is everyone giving this woman such a hard time for not knowing about the report that showed Harris and Biden inflated job numbers by nearly a million jobs? It’s not like she I s Commerce Sec Gina Raimondo.
Oh wait. She is Commerce Sec Gina Raimondo…pic.twitter.com/m4qCQx2Z72

I mean, holy crap…
This is the current US Secretary of Commerce.
To be unaware of this report that rewrote very jobs report the Biden Administration has trumpeted over the last year… speechless
If she’s lying in such a bald face manner… also speechless

So the Secretary of Commerce is not familiar with a massive correction to Bureau of Labor statistics. No wonder we’re in the mess we’re in.

Nobody in the Biden administration is qualified to run a taco truck, let alone anything in government. Good lord.

Typical Liberal, first they try to blame someone else, then they play dumb. When the negative numbers are stated, she say’s she doesn’t believe it and tries to blame Trump, but when told that the numbers came BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics), she claims she not familiar with it.

“The administration padded the numbers with an extra – listen to this one – 818,000 jobs that don’t exist. So they said they existed and they never did exist. They built ‘em up so they could say what a wonderful job they’re doing,” Trump said of the cooked numbers.
