White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s answers at today’s briefing overheated a lot of BS detectors, but here’s one with a claim that sure sounds familiar:

“Seasonal”? That seems to be the White House’s go-to excuse:
Surging illegal immigration? Seasonal.
Skyrocketing gas prices? Seasonal.
The WH has one talking point when their policies send things in the wrong direction and it doesn't hold up under any scrutiny. https://t.co/3hsrHATqHt

The WH strategy for solving problems has boiled down to 2 options:
1. Say it's 'seasonal'
2. Say Kamala is in charge of it— Abigail Marone (@abigailmarone) July 9, 2021
The Biden White House also certainly hopes people have forgotten Democrats who have claimed that high energy prices are a good thing because it would force everybody into their “green” options, which are also wildly expensive.
Clueless. Prices have been rising since her dopey boss was elected.

$80 to fill today when it was $50 during the Trump admin is not a “seasonal fluctuation” https://t.co/Z3FMPiqnB7

This administration would like everybody to passively say “oh well, it’s high gas price season” every time they empty their wallets to fill up the tank.
That "season" skipped the last four years. https://t.co/3rR585Jy0J
