'What a POS': Upper-class twit Jonathan Chait sneers at family of 11 — including adopted and foster children — for feeling the pain of inflation [video]

This morning, CNN’s Brianna Keilar introduced an interview between Evan McMorris-Santoro and a Texas couple, Larry and Krista Stotler, who are acutely aware of strain that comes with inflation and increased food costs:

"A gallon of milk was $1.99. Now it's $2.79. When you buy 12 gallons a week times four weeks, that's a lot of money."@EvanMcS goes grocery shopping with the Stotlers and shows us how badly inflation is hitting the middle class. pic.twitter.com/39hPPRHLja

Frankly, Jonathan Chait doesn’t see what they’re all bent out of shape about. What kind of weirdos would need to buy 12 gallons of milk every week?

12 gallons of milk a week may sound like a lot, but they've actually had to cut out their milk baths on alternate days. https://t.co/3vwwMWjKfR

Yes, the Stotlers definitely seem like the frivolous, wasteful types. What with the nine children they’re currently raising.

Filthy peasants. https://t.co/RT4c51CuED

Clearly there’s something wrong with the Stotlers and not with Jonathan Chait.

I see a lotta jokes about 12 gallons of milk a week. They're raising 9 kids and many of them look to be teenagers. https://t.co/eO4q6LrHeP

Don't you love when the people calling for expansion of gov't power simultaneously mock poor people because they can't afford a price increase in milk? Almost as if they're not sincere at all in wanting to improve the lives of the poor, just virtue signaling https://t.co/1AEr2UBz7j

Almost.

What a POS. https://t.co/4u4OIkmxHX

Fact check: true.

And they’re digging the Left’s grave deeper every day.

This is why the working class (increasing of all races and backgrounds) are fed up with liberal elites: they mock the hardships working people face, treat their concerns with contempt, lecture them about inane woke priorities, and condemn them as bigots filled with "resentment." https://t.co/frFkoymr7u

Dunking on big families concerned about high prices is a great strategy. https://t.co/8afllnnKoh

Keep doing what you’re doing, Chait. You’re why parents are waking up. https://t.co/4u4OIkmxHX

Please keep sneering at parents.

Whatever you do, don't stop. https://t.co/EMspD4PhoL

Update:

Cleanup in the dairy aisle:

My family of four consumes about half a gallon of milk every other week. I guess some people drink vastly more milk than I'm used to! https://t.co/FvR3VPlSJ5

Or, Jonathan, you’re just a condescending, tone-deaf jerk. Yeah, we’re gonna go with that.
