Former White House chief of staff slams Biden for promoting the economy ahead of the midterms

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus called the Biden administration on its priorities in Tuesday’s Hannity, claiming that the results of the president’s policies ahead of the 2022 midterm elections are “purely intentional.”

REINCE PRIEBUS: As Biden debates whether the Braves’ name needs to be changed, 74% of Americans out there say the economy is the number one concern, followed by gas, followed by public safety, followed by inflation. And what you have outlined is the very problem that the American people see, namely Joe Biden and his administration, that this behavior, this result of their behavior, is purely intentional. All you have to do is go back to look at day one. I urge everyone to go back and look at the first week of Joe Biden’s presidency and look at his executive orders. What has he done? He stopped the wall. He stopped Keystone. He rejoined the Paris Agreement. He paused the student loan repayment program. All of these things were intentional.

By the way, they think the economy is doing well. If you look at what Joe Biden said recently, he said in June that we have the fastest growing economy in the world. Then, in September, when the Inflation Reduction Act was passed, the inflation rate hit its highest level in 40 years on the same day. And then you saw in 60 Minutes last week, when he was confronted with this horrible economy and the CPI, he argued that it’s no big deal, just up an inch. So the story is that they intentionally took the steps to create the economy we’re in, but Joe Biden thinks we’re actually doing pretty well. But Americans know otherwise because they look at their bank accounts and their 401,000 and it doesn’t add up and they know it.
