Fox News is promoting an attack on President Joe Biden from multimillionaire YouTube personality Jake Paul.
“Boxer Jake Paul blasts Biden for gas prices, inflation, claims Biden voters are ‘the American problem’,” Fox News headlined their story. Fox also noted, “Paul’s comments diverge from the sports world’s progressive orthodoxy,” a reference to a series of boxing matches that Paul has participated in.
But Paul’s complaints against Biden are not coming from an average Joe.
Paul is a multimillionaire, with an estimated net worth of at least $40 million — and Paul has bragged that he is worth even more, alleging that he is worth at least $100 million.
In promoting Paul’s diatribe, Fox is once again amplifying the concerns of the wealthiest one percent and ignoring the voices of the millions of working class people who have supported Biden and his policies.
In fact, Biden currently supports legislation that would make the super-wealthy — billionaires worth far than Paul — pay a fairer share of their taxes to fund vital programs like education and health care.
