Ron Klain counters NY Times reporter with reasons Biden actually had a great week

Biden’s approval rating was already incredibly low, so there’s no telling where the bipartisan criticism of his Saudi trip will take it, as the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman pointed out:

In a one-week period, Biden's historic approval rating lows were affirmed, he traveled to meet with/fist-bump a Saudi prince with whom he said he would treat as a pariah and saw his legislative agenda further erode. https://t.co/1mSt4d8GfJ

Also inflation hitting record highs (possibly a lagging indicator but one that’s hard to brush off)

White House chief of staff Ron Klain saw Haberman’s tweets and came running to the scene with his gaslight in hand to explain why Biden actually had a great week:

Also this week:
– Marked signing of 1st new gun safety law in 30 years
– Gas prices below $3.99 at 20,000 stations
– New agreements on Israeli security
– Advanced bill to lower Rx drug prices and keep ACA premiums low https://t.co/VL8nRfXSEX

Wow, this administration is actually bragging about gas prices? Also 20,000 represents about 15 percent of gas stations in the U.S.

Only the Biden administration would say a 40+% year-to-year jump in gas prices is a positive and literally brag about it. SMH

Freakin' clowns. https://t.co/9uuP4vCmJj
