After being a leader of The Party of NO, going against every economic policy implemented by the president and Democrats and being a member of the party that shut down the government, Mitch McConnell is now doing his best trying to take credit for economic prosperity we are now facing in this country.
McConnell actually had the nerves to say this;
“After so many years of sluggish growth, we’re finally starting to see some economic data that can provide a glimmer of hope; the uptick appears to coincide with the biggest political change of the Obama administration’s long tenure in Washington: the expectation of a new Republican Congress,” McConnell said on Wednesday.
“So this is precisely the right time to advance a positive, pro-growth agenda.”
The comment provoked snide chuckles from Democrats. The Democratic National Committee emailed out a statement with the subject line “DNC to McConnell: Hahahahahahahahahahaha.”
Here’s the statement from DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That Mitch McConnell is one funny guy. He likes to remind people all the time that he’s not a scientist. Now we know he’s not a mathematician or an economist either. The fact is, under President Obama we’ve had 57 straight months of private sector job growth leading to nearly 11 million jobs added. All Republicans have given us is a government shutdown that cost the economy $24 billion. I get why he wants to take credit for the economic recovery. But maybe he should first do something to help contribute to it.
Yes….but watch this get legs and make all the msm rounds. FOX will tout this 24/7…just you wait!!!
