Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Monday repeatedly grilled White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Biden’s failure to reduce inflation.
Inflation rates are at 40-year highs because of Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies.

Inflation was low and steady while Trump was in office:
Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ made inflation worse.
“If Biden’s top domestic priority is inflation, why doesn’t he have more to show for it?” Doocy asked Karine Jean-Pierre.

Karine Jean-Pierre reverted to her empty talking points: “So, the president understands…that inflation is an issue, high cost, cost is an issue for the American people, and so he’s been very clear about making that his #1 economic priority – and he’s done the work!”

“But who exactly thinks Biden is doing a good job on inflation? Because…he receives his lowest job ratings on inflation. Net negative 38 points.” Doocy said.
More garbage talking points: “We understand…challenges…are in front of us here in this country, that is why the president has taken action to lower costs.”

Round three…
“Have Biden’s economic advisors told him the general consensus now is that the American Rescue Plan has contributed to inflation?” Doocy queried.
KJP absurdly claimed that Joe Biden’s policies are popular with the American people.
