REPUBLICANS POUNCE! WashPost Cries GOP ‘Primed to Pounce on Inflation’ in 2022

The Washington Post tried to whip out the generic “Republicans have pounced” cliché in order to spin some of the attention on skyrocketing prices away from President Joe Biden.

The liberal newspaper released a revealing story headlined, “Inflation emerging as top economic challenge in 2022.” Strong consumer demand in addition to ongoing supply chain problems “threaten to prolong sharply rising prices well into 2022, potentially making inflation the premier economic challenge of the new year.” The Post conceded that inflation “defied many economists’ expectations in 2021 by rising at the fastest pace in nearly 40 years,” and that “[e]verything from rent to the price of used cars to groceries” had spiked.

Then The Post tried to make the Biden economy look like a victim of GOP political exploitation: “[T]he White House will be looking at a midterms campaign in which Republicans are primed to pounce on inflation.”

FR must contain the greatest, most detailed record of Democrat and MSM hypocrisy ever assembled. Too bad no one has time to go back over all 23 years of the record and pull out every case and make a huge catalog of them for future reference by interested parties, perhaps those who are willing to pay for it.

I think the Dems use of “pounce” was first restricted to the particular situation where the Dems have taken a course of action that the Pubs warn will end in a bad result, but the Dems dismiss the warning, then when the inevitable bad result happens, just as predicted, and the Pubs say “I told you so”, the Dems try to excuse their incompetence by claiming the Pubs are “pouncing’.

Yes, the word “pounce” implies an unfair sneak or blitz attack that’s unethical and illegitimate. That’s why it’s never used to describe attacks from the Democrats.

In a fit of anger
I pounced
