Oh, here we go again—Kamala Harris and her team are trying to rewrite history while the rest of us are living in reality.
In the latest round of economic denial, Harris’ surrogate, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, got taken to task on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” for trying to gaslight America about Trump’s economic record. Apparently, they think we’re all suffering from selective amnesia.
When asked about Trump’s economic achievements, Raimondo tried to spin a wild narrative, ignoring the obvious: under Trump, there was no recession, real wages were actually up, and unemployment hit record lows—until COVID came along and the government-mandated shutdowns knocked the economy off course.
Joe Kernan rightfully called her out, saying it’s “weird” to act like Trump’s presidency is a mystery when we’ve already seen what he’s capable of. And what did Harris do for us? Well, we’ve got open borders, inflation through the roof, and real wages going down.
MUST WATCH: @JoeSquawk torches Harris surrogate Gina Raimondo:
You forgot the Trump tariffs were continued by Harris-Biden, there was no recession, real wages were up, the stock market did well, record low unemployment pre-pandemic — it’s weird to act like he’s a wildcard. pic.twitter.com/KTjELc8Dfa

Raimondo’s response? Classic deflection. She claimed—without any proof—that Kernan’s point about real wages wasn’t true. That’s rich, coming from the administration that’s been sugarcoating the economy for the past four years. When pushed for facts, Raimondo sputtered and then threw out a tired line about unemployment being high when Biden took office. Yeah, Gina, we know—it was high because of the pandemic, not Trump. But sure, let’s pretend that little fact doesn’t matter.
As Kernan bulldozed through her talking points, it became painfully obvious that this administration doesn’t have a clue. They weren’t prepared to talk about the real issues, like the dockworkers’ strike that could cause even more chaos in the economy. It’s like they’re hoping voters are too distracted to notice the damage they’ve done.
CNBC: What are you hearing will happen if dockworkers strike and it goes longer than a week?
Harris-Biden Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo: “I have not been very focused on that.”

Here’s the deal: Trump isn’t the wildcard they want you to think he is. We’ve seen the blueprint, and it worked. Meanwhile, Harris has had four years to show us what she’s got—and spoiler alert—it’s not good. Americans aren’t falling for this blame game. We know who’s wrecked the economy, and it sure wasn’t Trump.
