Kevin Hassett suggests the Bureau of Labor Statistics rigged the 2012 election for Barack Obama.

The claim that Kevin Hassett suggested the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) rigged the 2012 election for Barack Obama is not supported by any credible sources or statements.

The controversy around Hassett and the BLS pertains solely to recent labor statistics reporting and political disputes during the Trump administration, not to events or elections from over a decade ago.
