CNN's Poppy Harlow Confronts Larry Kudlow With All the Times He's Been Wrong About the Coronavirus
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow doesnt have the best track record when it comes to predictions. And CNN anchor Poppy Harlow was more than ready with the receipts when he came on her show to talk about the coronavirus fallout Friday morning.
Harlow began her interview by asking Kudlow if he and President Donald Trump are worried about the slowdown in the recovery.
I dont know that theres a slowdown. These job numbers will go up and down, Kudlow replied. When Harlow noted that only 1.8 million jobs were added in July compared to 4.8 million in June, he said, That is true, and it's going to be uneven as it always is.
Kudlow continued to push the administrations argument that a $600 weekly federal unemployment benefit has been a disincentive for Americans to go back to work. And when Harlow asked for evidence, he pointed to a University of Chicago study that supposedly supports that claim.
