Twitter torches Biden for claiming it 'doesn't sound like' there's a recession: 'Out of touch.'

FOX News (MSN Archived): Twitter torches Biden for claiming it 'doesn't sound like' there's a recession: 'Out of touch.'

Conservative Twitter users berated President Biden after he insisted that it doesn’t "sound like" the U.S. had entered a recession in a speech from the White House on Thursday afternoon.

[Biden] concluded with his dig: "That doesn’t sound like a recession to me." He walked off without acknowledging the press as they clamored for him to answer questions.

In the past, Biden has claimed he didn’t think the U.S. would be entering a recession in the near future, and his administration, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and economic advisor Brian Deese, is now denying that the U.S. is in a recession, despite the numbers saying otherwise.

Conservatives on Twitter derided Biden for the outright denial.

"It’s reassuring to be lied to in such a calm and grandfatherly way," remarked conservative author David Marcus.

The Heritage Foundation Twitter account even had to comment, writing, "Out. Of. Touch."

Donald Trump Jr. slammed Biden, his party and the mainstream media in one fell swoop, tweeting, "What a disgrace… not just Joe, not just the democrats who are happy to see the US economy get battered to further their insane agenda, but also the MSM for their refusal to asks even the basic questions about this unmitigated disaster."

"YOU walk away without taking questions," tweeted The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller, mocking how Biden’s handlers give him directions on note cards.
