No public figure struggles at their job greater than White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Each press conference seems increasingly worse. The latest is baffling.
We are experiencing record high inflation. It’s reached 9.1% this year. The latest numbers show that July we endured 8.5% inflation. But today Ms. Jean-Pierre made this remarkable revelation-
“We just received news that our economy had 0% inflation in July.“
No, that’s a lie. President Biden said the same thing. They have to be counting on your ignorance to get away with that crap. But even then, anyone who bought groceries in July knows that inflation did not miraculously stop all of sudden so it is tough to determine who would believe such a far-fetched lie.
The Wall Street Journal explains–
“Add it all up, and the department’s overall inflation measure—the consumer-price index—was flat in July compared with June. But the CPI was 8.5% percent higher in July from a year before—a rapid rate, though slower than June’s 9.1% annual pace—which was the fastest since November 1981.”
It’s so very disappointing because even when they do have something positive to say the White House completely fails to deliver an honest and accurate statement on the situation.
Never mind spin, the White House’s lies are beyond ridiculous. It’s time for a competent and honest press secretary to takeover.
