Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Republicans are 'explicitly rooting for inflation to get worse'

They’re still doing this, huh? It’s a different press secretary, but the same message. One month ago today, Jen Psaki tweeted that Republicans are “rooting for inflation.” This seems to have stemmed from an interview with Sen. Rick Scott, who told a reporter that inflation continuing to rise under the Biden administration was “a gold mine to us,” and speaking in terms of the 2022 midterms, he’s right. He wasn’t rooting for inflation, just thanking the Democrats for doing nothing about it and handing the GOP the issue on a silver platter. Plus, it assumes that Biden isn’t absolutely full of it when he says passing the multi-trillion-dollar Build Back Better bill will bring down inflation.

Deputy White House Press Secretary must have been reading off of Psaki’s notes in that book she’s constantly referring to because she told reporters Thursday that Republicans are not only “explicitly rooting for inflation to get worse,” they’re also “actively trying to hurt the pandemic response.”

We notice she did stumble over the word “inflation” quite a bit — she’s certainly practiced it enough.

What inflation, I thought it was just corporate greed? We were the only ones even acknowledging the inflation & getting made fun of for it.

Just when you think they cannot say any thing more stupid. People are not rooting for it to get worse. NO one wants it to get worse. MAKE it better…..and everyone will be happy. How do you not get that? Your polices are the ones killing the economy FIX IT.

Uhhhh what party is it again that controls the White House, Senate, and Congress?

I like her to to show an example of where the GOP is supporting the Biden's policies that are causing the inflation

Huh? I think inflation is getting worse without the help of “wishful” Republicans. This Adminsitration absolutely refuses to accept responsibility for any of its disastrous policies.
