Right wing economist and former Trump administration adviser Larry Kudlow had a negative spin on Fox News regarding Friday's earth-shattering jobs report, which revealed 303,000 new jobs added to the payroll, far larger than anticipated.
"I can't let go of this because I wasn't aware of it," said Kudlow. "The Bidens put out a press release saying how much jobs have grown since March of 2019 which would’ve been the low point in jobs for decades because of the pandemic."
But there's a big problem with Kudlow's claim, that a lot of commenters on social media were quick to mock him over: the pandemic began in 2020. 2019 was in fact the pre-pandemic jobs high point.

"Remember, Kudlow was at CNBC in 2008 telling people that it was a minor correction, and to keep buying stocks as they lost close to half their value," wrote the account @Nudincrcr.
"It’s disturbing that Larry Kudlow doesn’t accept the facts or know when the pandemic was," wrote the account @sally_ann_cole. "No wonder his credentials in economics have been questioned Economic recovery after a global health crisis doesn’t happen just because the disease threat attenuates His commitment to a rigid ideology is just annoying."
"How is he even able to stand or feed himself?" wrote the account @HollyGoLightly2.
