In reply to the discussion: Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now. [View all]Celerity
(53,495 posts)75. A record eight years and four months of monthly job gains -- dating to October 2010 -- ended February 2019, roughly a year
before the pandemic. The U.S. lost 50,000 jobs that month. The U.S. would go on to add 2 million jobs in 2019, but that was the lowest annual growth since 2010.
And then the novel coronavirus struck. In two months, March and April 2020, the U.S. economy lost a staggering 22.4 million jobs.
Most of those jobs (56%) would return before Trump left office. But he ended his presidency with an economy that had 2.9 million fewer jobs than when he started becoming the first president in modern times to experience a net loss of jobs over his time in office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has monthly employment figures dating to 1939.

People on this board were accused of misogyny for saying as much a couple of weeks ago

If the same commentator was a man I would still think the same about the tur(D).

I find it really strange when a well deserved criticism of a female politician or a tv pundit equals misogyny.

And Trump put her life at risk when he would point at reporters and call them traitors (she was among them)

Katy's got that "deer in headlights" look along with a forced "oh my god I don't want to be here" smile.

I refuse to watch Katy Tur and Andrea Mitchell. When they come on, I click off the TV. I read about it later

I had it on in the background and didn't hear what Tur had said but I did hear Pelosi's answer

I used to like her and lately she seems quite RW. Not always, but enough to notice a change

If he takes credit for $2 gas, then he gets blame for millions of lost jobs too
