Blackburn Blames Gas Prices And Inflation On Biden

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who's hoping to become the next Governor of Tennessee, served up a big heaping helping of Biden Tourette syndrome when she was asked by Hannity guest host Kellyanne Conway about her party's message to voters for the midterms.

Never mind that Dear Leader just told everyone last week that he'll never apologize for the high prices he caused; Blackburn just straight up lied that he cares one iota about the economic damage he's causing with his tariffs and the illegal war with Iran and then tried blaming what's going on now on Biden and COVID.

CONWAY: And of course, it's not enough, Senator Blackburn, just to scream socialist, communist. We need to explain what we're for.

I think that you and President Trump and so many others in your party have given us that agenda. Make the case for all Republicans coming up in this midterm. How can we tell Americans about the security, the safety, the, certainly the prosperity, the opportunity for all? What's the message for the midterms?

BLACKBURN: Yes, and President Trump is delivering for the American people every day, working to get the price of a gallon of gas down, working to get the pound of ground beef down, working to make certain that inflation is reduced.

Why Did Trump Allow Kim Jong Un To Grow His Nuclear Arsenal Substantially?

Donald Trump claimed former US presidents let North Korea develop nuclear warheads, but while exchanging love letters with Kim Jong-un, under his leadership North Korea increased its nuclear stockpiles twofold in his first term.

One of Demented Donald's favorite slogans is, 'under his watch he would never let it happen,' no matter the situation.

So, for instance, Trump routinely says the Russia-Ukraine war should have never happened, and under his presidency he would have stopped it?

How? Nobody knows.

Here, if he had been President for the last thirty years, he would have never allowed North Korea to develop any nuclear materials.

During yesterday's gaggle, a reporter asked if he's still writing letters to Kim Jong-un. Trump refused to say he had, but then blew kisses to the North Korean leader.

"The fact that I get along with him, that's a good thing, not a bad thing," Trump said.
Trump then launched into his customary revisionist history.

"He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons," Trump stated. "Should have never allowed it to happen. They should have never allowed it."

He continued, "If I were President, I wouldn't have allowed it. But he's got them."

Not one person cares how well he gets on with Kim Jong-un.

If we take Trump's claims as fact. Yeah, I know, that's crazy, but bear with me.
