"Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts"

“Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts”

During a broadcast of Donald Trump’s speech at a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.

Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, “We’ll continue monitoring the president’s remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts.”

    Cavuto went on to shoot down his claim that gas prices are at $6 a gallon, sourcing the real price as being an average of $3.26 a gallon.

    Good. I’m so sick of the wild bullshit like that this baboon makes up. Gas is around 2.80 where I live which seems quite cheap given that it was that price 20 years ago and everything else has gone up so much. Then, of course, there’s the fact a lot of people are super-confused about that presidents don’t set the price of gas.

      Back in the day if you couldn’t nail the price of a gallon of milk you were an out of touch elite. Trump hasn’t bought gas himself in decades I’m sure. That’s the lesson people should take from this.
