Joe Biden director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese has been making the rounds trying to explain the shortflls the administration is facing.
Empty store shelves for baby formula, rising inflation, and a stock market on its way down.
But even CNN isn’t buying it, as the Daily Caller reports.
“Let’s talk about inflation,” Bash said. “It is still near the highest levels in four decades. I want to play what President Biden said about this issue almost a year ago compared to what he’s saying now.”
Bash then played a clip from Biden in which he said “the overwhelming consensus, it’s going to pop up a little bit and then go back down.”
“I want every American to know I’m taking inflation very seriously, and it’s my top domestic priority,” Biden said in another instance.
Deese then responded after being asked by Bash how the admin got it so wrong:
“Look, a lot of things have changed over the course of the last year and we’ve dealt with a lot of unexpected challenges,” Deese said. “The delta wave of COVID, omicron on top of that. More recently, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine which has sent gyrations through global energy markets. What’s most important for the American people to understand right now is they have a president who is making clear, as you just played, that inflation is his top economic priority.”
It has been reported that the Democrats are looking elsewhere for 2024, a sign that even they know things are going worse than expected.
