Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was back at the podium today dodging questions and gaslighting about the economy while continuing to claim prices are coming down when that's not the case:
The U.S. government said that prices for consumers inched higher in November, but that the pace of inflation continued to slow from last year.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its consumer price index Tuesday morning. It said that overall prices for urban consumers rose 0.1% in November compared with October.
We'll start with what Jean-Pierre was reduced to talking about after being asked about price increases due to continued inflation:

Inflation IS a "junk fee" just as this is a junk administration that helped make it worse with ironically-titled legislation like the "Inflation Reduction Act."
This brings us to KJP's excuse for high prices and why they shouldn't be bothering anybody too much. There was "nothing but the classics" in this answer where Putin and the pandemic were blamed. This sounds so familiar:

On a related note, people are wondering if KJP's outfit was sponsored today:
YES! THAT is what she reminds me of today. https://t.co/GhXFE5NSds
