'Pathetic blame shift' in progress! Jen Psaki slams party with zero control in DC for doing nothing to halt inflation

Doug P. | 8:27 PM on January 13, 2022

By any measure, President Biden had a bad Thursday. Democrat Sens. Sinema and Manchin said they’re not going to support efforts to nuke the filibuster so a “voting rights bill” and other spending initiatives can be passed, and the Supreme Court put a halt to much of this administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate. And then there was more inflation news:

Wholesale prices skyrocketing. Up ⬆️ 9.7% ⬆️ in the last year. This is the eighth straight series high. Near double-digit wholesale inflation that will soon feed into consumer prices. #Inflation

With President Biden’s approval rating continuing to circle the drain lower and lower, Jen Psaki joined the attempt to shift the blame for inflation to Republicans:

So the long-awaited GOP plan to fight inflation is…to do nothing?

Meanwhile @POTUS is using every tool at his disposal to bring down prices. Unclogging supply chains. Addressing corporate monopolies that hurt consumers. Advancing BBB to lower household costs AND inflation. https://t.co/BjXHeRLZmW

You can smell the desperation.

Hey Psaki, did you know the Dems have a majority in the House & Senate? https://t.co/FHpUFthByW

Psaki would rather everybody forget that this is entirely on the Democrats.

Hold on I thought the democrats had the majority in the house and 51 in the senate and the White House but the GOP has to figure it out for them?
