WaPo Columnist Gets Destroyed for Claiming ‘Many Americans Are Not Suffering As Much as They Think They Are’

A financial columnist for The Washington Post is taking heat over comments she made regarding Americans’ view of inflation.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, columnist Michelle Singletary reacted to a poll that found a majority of Americans said they would prefer a recession over inflation.

Singeltary said, “There’s a great deal of Americans where it is uncomfortable that they’re spending more, but they are not going to go under.”

She added, “Overall, many Americans are not suffering as much as they think they are.”- READ MORE
