The one game that both sides play is how the narrative changes when the other party is in power.
Usually, the media does not even question the motive for this.
That changed this week when Fox News’ Peter Doocy left White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stumbling on the dais.
But He Said…
Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council, has been spinning big time, and he just got caught.
If we go back to 2008, Deese, on the economy, stated, “Economists have a technical definition of recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.”
End of discussion.
Well, that is what Biden just had, but now Deese is changing his tune.
Now he is backtracking, saying that two negative quarters “is NOT the technical definition of recession.”
Brian Deese, yesterday: "Two negative quarters of GDP growth is not the technical definition of recession.”

Only it is…
The White House tried to spin the same thing, but Doocy kept firing back, asking the key question… “What changed?”…
Doocy: "If things are going so great, why are White House officials are redefining recession?"
Jean-Pierre: "We are not."
Doocy: "It's two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth… How is that not redefining recession?"

This is what this administration does, however.
They literally say, no, we don’t agree, and we will define things the way we want and that is what it is.
It is arrogance at its finest, and it is pissing off the American people.
That is why Democrats are going to get their clocks cleaned in November.
