Trump and his allies are crying “election interference” over the Federal Reserve’s decision to slash interest rates

After months of complaining about the crippling burden of high interest rates and expensive borrowing, Republicans for some strange reason don’t seem too happy that the Federal Reserve has moved to do something about it.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced it is cutting interest rates by half a percentage point. It’s the first cut since 2020 and a long-awaited decrease to historically high interest rates.

    A violent mob invading the Capitol, committing murder in the process, specifically to interrupt the certification of the election?

    Not election interference.

      There was a murder on Jan 6?

      Edit: oh right, that woman. I don’t really consider defending the Capitol from someone trying to breach an inner entrance murder.
