Hakeem Jeffries Malfunctions As He's Caught Lying On Air

Hakeem Jeffries, Timu Obama, or as the left likes to call him, A-Pac Shakur, went on CNBC to try and blame Donald Trump for the high price of gas. But the guy on CNBC, well, he pulled up the actual number on screen, and what happened after that was a complete crash out, and we have the video for you. You are going to want to see this. If you're tired of Democrats lying about the economy to attack President Trump, smash that subscribe button right now, because we catch it every single time here on Resist the Mainstream. It was CNBC's Squawk Box. Hakeem Jeffries went on there, and he went after President Trump over gas prices. Now, if this was just a week ago, he would have had a leg to stand on. He claimed on the show that the national average for gas was $4.20 a gallon. He said before Trump's reckless war, gas was $2.98. Joe Kernan immediately pushed back, and this show, I mean, it is on CNBC, but this show is fair and impartial when it comes to the president. As Jeffries keeps talking, Kernan pulls up the graphic to the screen, and the actual national average right now, well, it's about 30 cents less than what Hakeem Jeffries claimed. It's about $3.93, and in my state like Tennessee, I've seen it as low as $3.13. It's coming down, and it's coming down quick. Jeffries tried to walk it back, saying it was $4.20 the day before, but in reality, again, gas prices have been trending downwards in recent days. Oil prices have been plummeting even faster than some experts predicted after the progress toward ending the Iran conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. We had Brent crude, and the West Texas price is around $70 a barrel. It's really good. In fact, lower than where we were before the conflict started. However, I mean, we do have to add the caveat in here that the progress is fragile. Just on Friday, Iran's IRGC launched a drone attack on ship in the Strait of Hormuz, and then the United States responded with strikes on Iranian missile and drone facilities. These tensions could easily send prices back up, but it is heartwarming when you see the media call the Democrats on their BS in real time. Why do Democrats think that they can get away with this? Let us know what you think in the comments below. Here's the awkward moment when the host fact-checked a Democrat in real time. Check this out. This is, these prices have come down at a level very similar to what the president said they would. Well, first of all, the price of oil should have never skyrocketed to begin with. That's number one. Number two, perhaps even more importantly, prior to this reckless and costly war of choice being launched by Donald Trump, the price of gasoline was $2 and 98 cents. Right now, it is $4 and 20 cents. That's the average price right now, as of today. And so under four, every day Americans, every day Americans are feeling that pain in a way that perhaps doesn't feel the same way for people who are wealthy, well-off and well-connected. It's $3.93 today, the national average. So it's not $4.20. We got it up on the screen. The national average was $4.20 as of yesterday, this morning. It's $3.93. That's still much higher than the $2.98. And that has an impact on working class Americans, middle class Americans. But that's only part of the puzzle.
