'That's not happening!' Fox Business guest flips out at stronger-than-expected GDP growth

Economic data released on Wednesday showed that the American economy grew at a strong 2.8% in the last quarter, which was stronger than what many economists had expected.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, who helped cost her network hundreds of millions of dollars when she decided to promote false claims about Dominion Voting Systems that were concocted by a woman who believes she can speak to the wind, scrambled to put a negative spin on the report.

During a roundtable discussion, Bartiromo highlighted aspects of the report that were not as positive as the topline GDP number, such as durable goods sales being down by 6.6% month over month.

Thursday's GDP report, however, showed real durable goods purchases rising at a strong 4.7% annualized clip in the second quarter - data that neither Bartiromo nor any of her panelists mentioned.

Gee-DP: Fox Business guest Rebecca Walser expresses consternation at Thursday's GDP report - which came in at a stronger-than-expected 2.8% annualized clip.
