'Anything they don't like they call fake!' Biden cracks up at GOP attacks on jobs report
President Joe Biden on Friday had a laugh at the expense of Sen. Marco Rubio after the Florida Republican claimed that numbers in the latest jobs report were "fake."
While taking questions from reporters in an impromptu White House briefing, the president was asked what he made of Rubio's comments about the purportedly "fake" jobs numbers showing that the American economy added 254,000 jobs in September, with wage gains significantly outpacing the rate of inflation.
Upon hearing the question, Biden immediately started cracking up.

He then composed himself and delivered a response.
"Look: If you've noticed, anything the MAGA Republicans don't like, they call fake — anything!" he said. "The job numbers are the job numbers. They are. They're real. They're sincere... And by the way, just look at how the [European Union] talks about us, they'd like to have an economy like ours. Let's talk about how the rest of the world looks at us."
Multiple Republicans, including Donald Trump's running mate Sen. J.D. Vance, have tried to find fault with the jobs report even though most economists have said that it shows significant strength in the American economy.
