New York Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (D) has this astonishingly out-of-touch advice for families struggling under the Biden economy:
According to @spmaloney, Hudson Valley residents who are struggling to put gas in their tank and food on their table should eat Chef Boyardee! I have a better idea — let’s Fire Sean Maloney and reduce inflation so that New Yorkers can afford to live here and eat what they want. pic.twitter.com/NYzXsVyVTM

From Fox News:
“Hudson Valley residents are feeling pain at the pump and at grocery stores, what have you done, and what do you plan to do to help solve our inflation problem?,” Maloney was asked.
“Yeah, well, I grew up in a family where, you know, if the gas price went up, the food budget went down,” Rep. Maloney said. “So by this time of the week, we’d be eating Chef Boyardee if that budget wasn’t gonna change. So that’s what families have to do. Here’s what we should do,” Maloney said before discussing actions that he says would lower inflation.
To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with Chef Boyardee from time-to-time. It’s certainly filling and convenient and yes, inexpensive, but a quick search shows the contents of one can provides over 50% of the daily recommended sodium intake. All that sodium from just one meal sounds…not exactly healthy.
Nutritional concerns aside, how amazingly arrogant of Rep. Maloney to suggest that the way to deal with the current inflation crisis is for American families to resort to this in an effort to counteract Biden’s disastrous energy policies:
Just when you thought Democrats couldn’t get any more tone deaf, @RepSeanMaloney says “struggling families may have to eat Chef Boyardee.” Are New Yorkers actually going to vote for this jerk? ChefBoyardee #Election2022 #Democrats #inflation

These Democrats are so arrogant. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, suggested that we, who are suffering at the pump should eat Chef Boyardee. The arrogance that we should manage our budget, because the government can’t is astounding. #FireSeanPatrickMahoney https://t.co/b6tm87CuE2

Absolutely astounding.
Hard not to draw a certain parallel:
'The people cannot afford bread? Let them eat Chef Boyardee!'

Sean Maloney (@spmaloney ) congressman from the 17th District of NY tells voters that if gas and food prices are too high, they should eat Chef Boyardee to spend less on groceries.
Talk about a “Let them eat cake” moment.
New Yorkers, please vote this guy out tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/9ysWnZ3t5C— Zander.Blaze (@Zander__Blaze) November 7, 2022
Yes please, New York.
Telling voters to go eat Chef Boyardee seems like a solid message the day before an election.
Why hasn't any other candidate used it before?

It’s a real mystery.
