The inflation that last year was going to be “transitory” ended up actually getting worse before being branded as “Putin’s price hike.” Now the White House would like everybody to believe inflation is also the fault of Republicans.
President Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is pushing the “it’s the Republicans’ fault” spin in part by blaming them for blocking an “anti-inflation” bill:
The anti-inflation reconciliation bill the President is fighting for would do just that by empowering Medicare to negotiate down the cost of prescription drugs and save consumers and taxpayers money at the same time.
Congressional Republicans oppose it tooth and nail.

Here’s something else to keep in mind:
Coming from the same administration that also said the so-called “American Rescue Plan” wouldn’t fuel inflation. 🤡 https://t.co/1SWcg56K7H
