White House Official Claims Senator Blaming Biden for Inflation Is ‘Fully in Lockstep’ with Putin
With the country’s inflation showing another steep hike, the White House is trying to deflect blame from President Joe Biden, but some are pushing back.
(…)
In light of the new consumer price index numbers, Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida called out Biden for the inflation crisis.
“Today’s CPI numbers should be a big wakeup call for Joe Biden, but we know nothing will change. I have been sounding the alarm on Joe Biden’s raging inflation crisis for more than a year, but while inflation skyrockets higher each month, Biden and his incompetent lackeys remain missing in action,” Scott said in a statement.
“As long as Joe Biden is in office, families will continue to suffer, debt will keep climbing and prices will skyrocket even higher.”
In response, Jesse Lee, the senior adviser for communications to the National Economic Council at the White House, accused Scott of being “fully in lockstep” with Putin “in blaming Biden for Putin’s Price Hike.”
