Biden Says He Created “668 Manufacturing Jobs”; Democrats Flee Border Questions; Abrams Won’t Concede She Lost 2018

On 10/6/2022, Biden said his economy had created “668 manufacturing jobs” — apparently meaning 668,000 but dropping the word “thousand.” Democrats on Capitol Hill literally ran from reporters asking whether the border was secure, with one saying “I have to go give a speech” and walking away. A progressive called student debt cancellation a response to “policy violence.” Stacey Abrams refused to say she would concede the 2022 Georgia governor’s race, repeating her 2018 claim that “the election was stolen from the voters of Georgia” — while Democrats simultaneously called Republican election skepticism dangerous.

”668 Manufacturing Jobs”

Biden mangled his economic pitch. “Since I came to office, our economy has created 10 million jobs. 668 manufacturing jobs. Proof that ‘Made in America’ is no longer a slogan — it’s a reality,” Biden said. He clearly meant 668,000 but dropped “thousand.”

Democrats Run From Border Questions

A reporter tried to get Democrats to answer: “Is the border secure?” One lawmaker walked away from a question about 250,000 unaccompanied migrant children. Another said: “I have to go give a speech. Didn’t you hear me?” “Answers about the border — few and far between from Democrats on Capitol Hill,” the reporter noted.

”Policy Violence” on Student Debt

A progressive framed loan cancellation as a response to “policy violence.” When asked about actual violent crime and police defunding, the exchange devolved: “Shoot me or no? Shoot you or no? We’ll set it up.”

Oil Companies: “They Have What They Need”

An energy advisor said the administration had told every major producer: “What do you need to increase production? They have what they need.” A reporter countered that the industry cited “the threat of regulation down the road.” The advisor said: “I take issue with that.”

Abrams: “I Didn’t Lose”

Abrams was asked if she would concede if she lost the 2022 race. “I would not concede a system that would not permit voters to be heard,” she said. A compilation showed her prior statements: “I did win my election. I just didn’t get to have the job.” “The election was stolen from the voters of Georgia.” These were juxtaposed with Democratic criticism of Republicans using similar language about 2020.
