MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd today expressed shock and aggravation at recent polling showing the majority of Americans are disappointed with the economy under President Joe Biden, calling the negative popular opinion an outcome of “conservative echo chamber” lies.
In a sensational dismissal of the Americans injured by historical inflation levels and a supply chain crises under the Biden administration, the liberal media figure recommended that Americans simply “don’t feel first-world enough” and should go live in another country before they slam the president.
What did he state?
“Fifty-one percent believe the economy remains in an economic crisis or depression. I suggest, look, it’s just not real,” Todd exclaimed throughout a panel section on “MTP Daily” Tuesday, published by Genuine Clear Politics.
Todd was citing an U.S.A. Today and Suffolk University survey conducted in February. Shown along with it onscreen was another recent survey released by the Washington Post and ABC News that returned similar findings; particularly, that a tremendous 75% of Americans felt the economy is “not so great” or “poor.”
“This economy is aggravating,” he continued. “This economy with COVID has actually been– ‘I have actually got money and I can’t find something’– but my God, there’s tasks. There’s great tasks.”
“Is this the conservative echo chamber is better than the Democratic echo chamber issue?” he asked guest Jennifer Palmieri. “Or exists something else missing out on?”
Palmieri, a former Obama White Home interactions director, responded by concurring with Todd’s assertion and claiming that liberals don’t just repeat what they have actually been told like conservatives do. She went on to add that Americans’ gripes about the economy are just a sensation, not truth.
“That’s the real problem. They don’t feel safe about that right now,” Todd stated.
What else?
At that point, Republican strategist Matt Gorman entered the discussion to suggest that negative reactions to the economy over the last year are “broader” than economic measurements. He stated individuals are feeling the capture when they go to restaurants without appropriate staffing or to supermarket that are void of item.
“We do not feel first-world enough,” Todd leapt back in to say as if the genuine concern had just dawned on him.
“I wish to tell people, ‘Go live in another nation,’ and recognize we have it pretty good here,” he included.
Todd’s complaints are unlikely to alter anybody’s understanding of the economy, however, as increasing inflation struck a 40-year high last month and the nation continues to come to grips with supply chain issues and staffing shortages. That’s not to discuss the pain Americans will likely feel at the gas pump over the coming days and weeks amidst Russia’s intrusion of Ukraine.
