As we told you earlier, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s testimony before a Senate panel solidly torpedoed the Biden administration’s excuse for inflation and gas prices, insisting it’s all because of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine:

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked about Powell’s comments today, and her response was to stick to the original spin no matter what — even after being informed about what the Fed chairman said earlier:

For starters, Katie Pavlich spotted the usual tactic from officials in this administration when they’re cornered by reality:
“I didn’t hear what he said on that.”

LOL. Granholm’s not even good at lying.
I'm sorry, but they can't possibly think we're that stupid. https://t.co/5ELHOb6pEt

Who does Granholm think she is, Kamala Harris?
