Politifact DEMOLISHES “Pants On Fire” Socialist Sweetheart

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently stated that the reason unemployment is low is that everyone works two jobs.

Margaret Hoover tells Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that the U.S. unemployment rate is in the 3.9%-4% range.

Ocasio-Cortez replies by calling those numbers “a part of the problem,” then falsely claims everyone is working part-time jobs and people can’t feed their kids. pic.twitter.com/f9c723guap

Thaaaaaat’s some bullcrap.

But no worries, Elizabeth Warren hopped right on that train and DOUBLED it.

WATCH: Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren claims people are working 4 jobs just to survive.

I suppose she didn’t want to be outdone by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said unemployment is low because people are working 2-3 jobs. https://t.co/MFYLqH2lV7 pic.twitter.com/LK0EgNuHbA

YES! FOUR JOBS!

Who’s gonna double it again? EIGHT JOBS!!!! My money’s on Kamala.

Anywhoooo.

That’s full-blown crap.

In fact, Politifact gave it the lowest rating they possibly could.

PANTS ON FIIIIYAAAAA!

Here’s why:

In our review, we found many reasons why unemployment is low, and not for the overwork that Ocasio-Cortez cited. The biggest factors include strong economic confidence and the long-running economic recovery. (Her campaign did not respond to an inquiry.)

“Everyone has two jobs”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps track of how many people work two jobs rather than just one.

Over the past 12 months, the number of multiple job holders has ranged between 6 million and 7 million. That compares to more than 148 million Americans who are employed in a single job.

RIIIIGHT.

So by the official statistics, multiple job holders account for a tiny fraction of American workers.

And this percentage isn’t high by historical standards.

And people working 60, 70, 80 hours a week?

That’s BS, too.

This assertion is equally dubious.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics breaks down its count of people with multiple jobs into three categories: people working one full-time job and one part-time job; people with two part-time jobs; and people working two full-time jobs.

A worker with two full-time jobs is the smallest category of the three.

HAHAHAHA.

So yes, she’s a FULL-BLOWN LIAR. (Or maybe just very, VERY uninformed… which should make Boston University, her alma mater, BOW THEIR HEAD IN SHAME.)

As for WARREN?

She DOUBLED the claims… She’s DOUBLE the liar!

…Though I guess we already knew that.
