Biden’s Lies Cause Humiliating Live TV Backlash

CNN’s Brianna Keilar and Boris Sanchez were visibly taken aback when former Republican Representative Mia Love sharply criticized the government’s policies towards black voters during a recent segment.

Love, voicing her frustration, criticized President Biden for not acknowledging Nikki Haley’s role in removing the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s state capitol grounds in 2015. She suggested that Biden should focus on fulfilling his promise to find a cure for cancer, highlighting its potential impact as a campaign message, particularly among black voters.

Keilar agreed that curing cancer would be a significant achievement, politically and socially. Sanchez joined the discussion, mentioning the personal relevance of the topic following CNN colleague Sara Sidner’s cancer diagnosis.

Interrupting the conversation, Love expressed her dissatisfaction with government policies affecting black Americans. “It bothers me that when a black individual gets a promotion or a pay raise, if they’re on government aid, they often lose those benefits for earning slightly more. This doesn’t help black people move forward or rise above poverty. They’re stuck in a cycle of poverty. We need policies that promote upward mobility,” Love argued.

Sanchez acknowledged the significance of Love’s point, noting it’s a view shared by supporters of former President Donald Trump and relevant to African American voters.

Peter C. Earle, a senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, shared insights with Forbes on this issue. Earle explained that individuals receiving government assistance might end up losing these benefits as their wages increase, a situation that could ultimately be detrimental.

This debate has gained traction in recent years, especially after the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan expanded unemployment benefits. Some workers found that they were earning more from these benefits than from working a minimum wage job, leading to a complex discussion about the impact of government assistance programs on workforce participation.
