Charlie, just because you and Trump say it, that doesn't make it true




As we noted before, Charlie Kirk just repeats lies that Donald Trump says, and he did it again:



Honestly, I could care less whether or not Donald Trump personally financed his campaign, because all he's done as president is what a Republican who accepted money from the Koch Brothers would have done.


The thing about parroting Donald Trump is that you're putting your faith in a person who has no concept of reality:



The United States is not energy independent, but even if it were, it was a process that began during the Obama presidency. Unfortunately, this means the impacts of climate change will come sooner, and are already being seen now.


When it comes to unemployment, the numbers are skewed to make a president look good. It happened during the Obama presidency, and it's the same for the Trump presidency.


"The U-3 is the rate most often reported in the media," writes Kimberly Amadeo on unemployment rates. "In the U-3 rate, the Bureau of Labor Statistics only counts people without jobs who are in the labor force."


"The real unemployment rate (U-6) is a broader definition of unemployment than the official unemployment rate (U-3)."


While Charlie Kirk praises low unemployment rates for Hispanics and African Americans, he's completely forgetting about the whole Prison Industrial Complex thing.


As journalist Chris Hedges has pointed out: "Real unemployment would be over 9 percent if the 2.3 million people kept behind bars in the U.S. (more than 1 in 110 of all Americans and 6 percent of all black men in their 30s) were factored in. The United States’ globally unmatched and racist mass incarceration system artificially suppresses the U.S. unemployment rate (especially black and Latino joblessness) to a significant degree."


Despite all the incorrect or misleading statements said by Charlie Kirk, claiming that Donald Trump is working for free might be the most absurd thing one could say.


If you think that a man who tries to not pay workers is also someone capable of working for free, means that you are either a grifter, stupid, or purely delusional....
