So she doesn't know how jobs work AND she's a liar. There was no edit in her sentence: she said, without skipping a beat, "unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs."

Go watch the clip from any source you want, that's what she said.

Nothing, as she mentioned in her response. Her point was that low unemployment numbers by themselves don't mean we have a thriving society.

She claims the clip was doctored and that it was used in "white supremacist websites"

If that's not a desperate attempt to dodge backlash from her stupidity then I don't know what would be

i got the impression that when she says "unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs" that she was saying sure people are now more employed, but they're not in comfortable, stable, "meaningful" employment, just that now instead of struggling with unemployment, they're struggling with shitty jobs and low wages.

thats why she follows the two job line by saying people are also possibly working 60 or 70 hour weeks. seems pretty obvious tbh, it's all there in the clip

Nice to see Mal is willing to die on the same hill as Hannity.

The hill of "discredit new popular person who's beyond the favorite for winning her seat in the House anyway, rather than focus on where proper battlegrounds are".

Almost like the motivation is stifling any kind of hope from the opposition. Killing joy. Killing spirit. Killing the spark of inspiration.

It shows that she wanted to talk about how a lot of people are struggling and are working 2+ jobs/long hours, but also wasn't asked that question. And likely just doesnt know how unemployment is calculated, not that she doesnt know how jobs work.

Leave it to Sad_Fet to be come back with a completely wrong take.
