Democratic Party leaders twisted their own spin by offering conflicting reactions to the new jobs report.
Eager to knock the Republican administration, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer separately framed the August jobs report released Friday as a disappointment produced by GOP policies
Here's how Pelosi spun the new report: "August's jobs report shows that Americans still aren't getting the bigger paychecks they deserve. Hard-working men and women across America are being left behind by a Republican White House and Congress that have no jobs plan and have failed to demonstrate a true commitment to working families."
Schumer tweeted, "Today's jobs report showing slower job growth and stagnant wages is disappointing."
Meanwhile, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, who served as former President Barack Obama's labor secretary, lauded the numbers as proof that the "bold policies and long-term economic investments" of the Obama administration "are still paying off."
