In Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate, Beto O'Rourke recounted meeting a woman he said is "working four jobs" while raising a child with disabilities, highlighting her struggle as an example of rising U.S. income inequality.
But a firestorm ensued when former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly responded with a skeptical tweet: "Beto says he met a woman working FOUR jobs. And raising a special needs child. I don't believe him. Sorry."
In response, O'Rourke shot back a photo of himself with the woman, whom he identified as Gina, and her daughter, Summer.
In fact, Gina Giambone doesn't work four jobs she works five, she told CBS MoneyWatch on Wednesday. She also sleeps in her car because she can't afford to pay rent in Las Vegas, Giambone said. Because none of her jobs are full time, she cobbles together work between "gig economy" work as well as service jobs including cleaning homes.
O'Reilly doesn't "have a clue about what life is," she said. "It's reality. I see it every day that people can't make ends meet."
