GTFO with that! WaPo fact-checker gets fact-WRECKED claiming U.S. 'officially entered recession in Feb. before COVID'

Are they really trying to push this crap? REALLY!?

Of course they are.

And they complain when Trump calls them fake news.

Fact: The United States officially entered a recession in February — before the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s false to claim the economy was firing on all cylinders until the contagion came to our shores.

Dude.

Seriously?

We get it, you work for the Washington Post so expectations aren’t exactly high to begin with but C’MON.

It was so much of one they could barley point it out before it was gone. Anything to hit Trump with and lies are #1 on the list.
Fact check: HORSESH!T

You can't enter recession in February. Recessions are determined by quarterly growth. You're lying. The determination would be done in March not February.

It must be a heavy lift as you throw Joe Biden on your back and try to drag him across the finish line
