Mike Pence's 'Gaslighting' Boast About Record Jobs Creation Backfires

Jaws collectively dropped on Twitter over Vice President Mike Pence’s latest boast about the number of jobs created during Donald Trump’s presidency.

Pence on Wednesday told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Trump had “seen us through the worst pandemic in 100 years” and “we’ve already created more jobs in the last three months than Joe Biden and Barack Obama created in their eight years in office.”

People on Twitter pointed out problems with Pence’s brag.

Several accused the vice president of “gaslighting” and noted an administration does not create the jobs itself.

Other critics highlighted how millions of workers have lost jobs and the economy has shrunk by record levels during the coronavirus pandemic, in part thanks to the Trump administration’s disastrous response:

Pence looks like he has indigestion, so even he can't swallow the shit he spews?

Isn't he the bouncy & bubbly spokesperson for team trDump.

Can't hardly wait for the Kamala debate. She will be up one side of him and down the other. Then eat his lunch, then a few seconds later spit it back in his face.

Why do we let them and the media drive the narrative that people going back to work after being shutdown during a pandemic is job creation?

These are not newly created jobs, they are people returning back to work.
