Remember when White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain wholeheartedly endorsed that God-awful tweet from Harvard economist Jason Furman asserting that “most of the economic problems we’re facing […] are high class problems”?

Well, Klain’s tweet managed to raise enough eyebrows to merit a question about it at yesterday’s White House press briefing with Jen Psaki
A reporter just asked @PressSec to respond to the "tone-deaf" nature of this tweet. https://t.co/bHUb7IPUHp pic.twitter.com/h63C9tGPaq

For the record, Psaki thinks people are wasting their time worrying about what Ron Klain is tweeting. He’s just the White House Chief of Staff, after all:

Maybe what the White House Chief of Staff is tweeting should be a priority, Jen, seeing as he’s widely suspected to have a much bigger role in Joe Biden’s presidency than the administration lets on. And Donald Trump’s tweets drove media narratives for weeks at a time.
They spent 4 years addressing someone’s “Twitter habits.”

And maybe what the White House Chief of Staff is tweeting should be a priority because Americans have suffered and will suffer a lot more as a result of those “high class problems” that we’re not supposed to worry about.
So, high inflation is actually a good thing, right Ms. Psaki?#Inflation#WeveGotACountryToSave https://t.co/PlNMz9ekE2

Just be grateful to be a part of the high class, you stupid, whiny peasants!
legitimate question that Psaki starts off by mocking, as is her usual response to anything she doesn't want to answer. https://t.co/TgPMSvMTvo
