With the November midterm elections rapidly approaching, the outlook for the Democrats just keeps getting worse:
“The big run-up in gas and food and home prices has really caused great hardship for many households.”
Voters are sour on the economy and angry about inflation. Tough spot for Dems in the midterms. My latest. https://t.co/H0lrbSqmua

Yep, it’s a “tough spot for Dems in the midterms”:
The widely watched University of Michigan consumer confidence survey recently touched its lowest level in almost 11 years. An Associated Press/NORC survey showed that almost 70 percent of Americans think the economy is in poor shape, and 81 percent of those in a poll released by CNBC see a recession coming this year. Gallup found the share of Americans citing inflation as the top issue is now at its highest level since the 1980s.
So what will the Democrats do about that? It’s gaslighting time!
Sen. Amy Klobuchar is among Democrats desperately trying to put the blame elsewhere:
There is nothing more despicable than price gouging during a crisis. No one should struggle to get basic goods and services, so I just introduced legislation to make it illegal for corporations to price gouge during a state of emergency.

Speaking of despicable, how about that attempt to shift the blame?
“Pay no attention to the failed policies that created inflationary pressure on everything you buy…there is a straw man we can build and set on fire to distract you!” https://t.co/OpjYlxH7qp

Where was all this “corporate greed” before Biden took office?
This is dishonestly blaming corporations for Biden's inflation. Also, what emergency? 🤷♂️ https://t.co/MKa9K5H3rj

The only “emergencies” in the U.S. appear to be ones that have been created by Democrats that the Democrats now want to “fix” by trying to make people think they were caused by corporations. Nobody outside of the loyal Dem base is buying what Klobuchar and others are selling.
