She’s on the shortlist to be Trump’s running mate in November.

In the video, she asks, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Then she says, “The answer for hard-working Americans across the country is a resounding ‘no.'”

In case you forgot, it was almost four years ago when lockdown started.
People were obviously like, “Wait, what are you even talking about?!”

“Four years ago, people were getting into fist fights over toilet paper,” one person said.
“Well, I’m not seeing morgue refrigerator trucks, and I’m not being told to inject bleach,” another person said.
Other people shared pictures of empty shelves.
This person brought up their 401k.
And these medical professionals shared a picture of themselves covered in plastic.
From “Four years ago I was buying a lot of hand sanitizer”…
… to “I was hunkered down in my house bleaching the groceries with my cats.”
You mean when I was hunkered down in my house bleaching the groceries with my cats? Yeah I think I’m better off now. https://t.co/H1OO10Nvue
