Republicans respond after Biden calls them 'fiscally demented': 'absolutely zero self-awareness'
Fox News
Republicans fired back at President Biden after he called them "fiscally demented" while speaking at Al Sharpton's National Action Network Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event.
The president whispered into the microphone his repetitious claim of reducing the federal deficit "by $350 billion" that garnered "Three Pinocchios" from the Washington Post before claiming he was reducing the deficit even more this year.

"And this year? The federal deficit is down $1 trillion-plus. Hear me, that's a fact," Biden said. The president is using baseline numbers from 2020, when spending was at its height during the COVID-19 pandemic.
