Biden Gets Angry, Comes Clean about ‘Reckless’ Spending: ‘We’re Changing People’s Lives’

Democrat President Joe Biden appeared angered over allegations of his “reckless” spending during a Tuesday speech, arguing that “we’re changing people’s lives.”

Biden seemingly gave up the game during his speech at AFL-CIO’s convention in Philadelphia.

In a sudden outburst of rage, Biden yelled, “I don’t want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.

“We’re changing people’s lives.”

WATCH:

Biden made the comments during a Tuesday address to the AFL-CIO, America’s largest federation of labor unions.

In a combative speech, Biden pushed back on the claims that his administration had some share of the blame for contributing to the country’s economic woes, including 40-year-high inflation.

At different points, Biden asserted that the economic problems facing Americans came from outside forces and that his administration has achieved great success with the economy despite them.

In one instance, Biden blamed the invasion of Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin as being the only thing affecting record-high gas prices.

“I’ve done everything in my power to blunt Putin’s gas price hike,” he said.

“Just since he invaded Ukraine, it’s gone up $1.74 a gallon, because of nothing else but that.”

Elsewhere in the speech, the president also insisted that his administration “created the greatest jobs recovery in history.”

Though conservative critics on Twitter weren’t convinced by Biden’s claims and many slammed him for his indignant tone.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) slammed Biden’s gas claims, tweeting, “Gas prices the week Biden took office: $2.37.
