Karoline Leavitt’s claim that gas prices have decreased under Trump collapsed like a combover in a wind tunnel at the slightest scrutiny
We regret to inform you that Propaganda Barbie has been at it again. By which we mean that the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has been up at the lectern lying her little heart out like the good Trump cultist she is.
Here’s the wool she was trying to pull over everyone’s eyes.
Karoline Leavitt, with a straight face:

And here’s the table that quickly unravelled it.
This is such a ridiculous bald faced lie, it's insulting to the American people.
Gas prices have increased 30% over the past year, yet Trump's Press Secretary has the audacity to lie to you and claim that they've gone down.
The absolute lack of shame is appalling. https://t.co/8v8FyUqnCr pic.twitter.com/9XU2tygY8J

Bullshit Barbie at it again. MAGA are you not tired of this gaslighting? I mean when she lies about something so blatantly obvious and verifiable, do you think she is telling you the truth about other stuff? https://t.co/fY9ccsWBaq

I paid more in taxes this year despite making slightly less than last year by comparison, and gas is the highest it’s ever been here. They can legit go fuck themselves. https://t.co/nwIpri2NME
