If you look at how unpopular Joe Biden is, you have to know that there’s a lot of anger brewing about how much he’s failed the American people, particularly when it comes to the economy.
Although he and his staff can buffalo Americans on many topics, Americans recognize that Bidenflation is affecting them directly in their pockets. We can’t buy what we used to under Donald Trump, everything costs more–particularly food–and many people are juggling how they can pay for the daily costs that it takes to live.
Joe Biden is now trying to sell us on this talking point that, somehow, they’ve brought down the gas prices, when the prices have dropped because of lack of demand. The Biden team is crowing about a 50-cent drop at around one-fifth of the gas stations in the country, claiming that’s saving us $25 a month.
But as we’ve pointed out, if they want to make that argument, by their same figures, they are costing us more than $100 more a month because the gas is still more than $2.00 more than it was when Biden came in. Americans do not think that Joe Biden will make them stupid.
Jill Biden was in Connecticut Wednesday when one man pointed out this fact to her. This was the day before Joe was diagnosed with COVID, and Jill Biden wasn’t wearing a mask. After pulling up to an ice cream parlor with her motorcade she got out of the car. With Connecticut Governor. Ned Lamont.
The Secret Service had a few people blockade the sidewalk. Connecticut is a blue-state, however, even blue states are often irritated by high prices. A man heckled Jill, “Your husband is the worst President we ever had, you owe us gas money.”
PROTESTERS – “Your husband, the worst president we have ever had. You owe us gas money.”
JILL BIDEN: “Thank you for your support”

“Thank you for your support,” Biden said. Then someone else yelled what sounds like, “You suck,” as she ducked inside the door.

When you’re getting this reception in such a blue state, things are not going well–not to mention that what the guy said was so on target, especially with the “you owe us gas money.” Hilarious and so true.
Her response is so typical, too — don’t take what he says seriously, just laugh it off. But, it’s just that anger that’s going to come back and bite the Democrats in the fanny in November. Americans already think you don’t care, and now you gave them one more reason to think it. Some can’t afford to buy the gas to take random trips around the country and get ice cream, like Jill can.
Now, I think the Secret Service guy was also laughing, but maybe he’s laughing for the same reason that we are — that someone got a good point in on Jill.
She’s likely to hear a lot more stuff like this, as she casts about trying to rehabilitate Joe’s image. She should remember this moment–because polls show the red wave is coming.
