Joe Did This: Kevin Hassett and Mercedes Schlapp - CPAC TX
CPAC Board member, Kevin Hassett, takes the stage with Mercedes Schlapp for a conversation on the effects Biden’s policies have had on the country. Hassett asserts that the economic downturn, high inflation, and high gas prices, all which Biden denies responsibility for, are in fact the results of Biden’s policies. Biden’s continuous printing and distribution of currency has pushed inflation to rise far beyond normal rates. Biden’s energy policies that discourage domestic drilling have driven up gas prices. The Biden administration’s veiled communication with the public is contrasted by the transparency of the Trump administration. Hassett shares President Trump’s adamancy to honestly report to the public the economic situation of the COVID shutdowns. Hassett pointedly calls Biden’s refusal to recognize the current recession “an intellectual crime.” He predicts that the recession will be beat should the Republicans win Congress in November.
