Treasury Secretary Scott Becent joined Martha Radazs at ABC early today.
During the interview, Bescent swinged on fake news media.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bescent: Looking at some of the things that have been published, we heard about it 10 days ago that it was the worst April for the stock market since Great Depression. Ten days later, the Nasdaq is happening in April, but we haven’t seen a story about the stock market making its biggest bounce yet.
Martha Raddaz: It certainly goes back and forth.
Scott Bescent: I think a lot of this is media-driven.
Of course, Secretary Becent is right. There was a Nasdaq 19,278 on March 31, 2025. On Friday, the Nasdaq was 19,432 on April 25, 2025. The Nasdaq is higher than the end of March despite President Trump’s tariff policies.
That’s very surprising.
But instead of admitting her terrible mistake, Radazs brushed it off as the market was “going back and forth”. That’s not correct. The market has been working remarkably this month, with everyone on the fake news having eggs on their faces again. Instead of apologizing for Radaz, he is lying again on the American public.
You can’t really hate this fake news media enough!
