White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that opponents are using rising prices as a 'political cudgel,' as the administration continues to try to retool its rhetoric after a new report showed consumers were getting hammered by price increases.
'It's become a political cudgel, and it shouldn't be,' said Psaki, speaking at her first White House press briefing since testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.
'It's impacting ... millions of Americans, no matter their political party, and that's certainly of concern to the president,' she continued. She noted that 'everyone from the Federal Reserve to Wall Street agree with our assessment' that inflation will 'substantially decelerate next year.'

The Biden administration is going to do more damage to the country than COVID has.
Yeah, I’m sure that people who are getting buried by higher prices are smart just like Jen and see that it’s just a political cudgel.
Prepare for three more years of daily beatings, Red!
Of COURSE she’d say that. The Universal Church of Glowbull Worming requires that efficient energy sources be rendered as expensive as their windmills and solar cells.
No matter that starving millions freeze in the dark, because that’s the REAL reason behind it all anyway.
Club of Rome, Maurice Strong, neo-Malthusians.
I expel a smarter pile of dung every morning than this brainless airhead.
we’ll see how ‘strong’ that case is come midterms - the dems own this - the conservative dems, the moderate dems the liberal dems and the commie dems - every one and I hope every one gets primaried in landslides for allowing this admin to tank America’s economy.
People can’t sustain $50=$80 gas a day just to go to work - it’s cheaper to quit = just like it was the last time gas prices were out of control. Not all America lives in high-density urban centers and even most urban centers are sprawling, with businesses driven to the outskirts by regulations and rents.
It’s (inflation) become a political cudgel, and it shouldn’t be,’ said Psaki
Boo hoo. F Joe and the Dems owns inflation. There’s no stopping it now until the Fed smothers demand with high interest rates. No amount of spinning by Chuckie will change that.
The assertions that build back better will lower inflation and costs zero are the biggest lies since you can keep your doctor and keep your plan.
With all the disasters created by F Joe the real runaway inflation is the size of the lies he needs to tell to excuse them.
Inflation was an entirely predictable consequence of locking down businesses and borrowing heavily to release stimulus packages. It could get a lot worse unless they get back to free market economics but they seem determined to tear down the old system so they can “build back better” with their catastrophic green new deal economics.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
substantially decelerate next year.’
yeah...cuz we will be in a depression. Hmmm...CBP might be right...
I expel a smarter pile of dung every morning than the current illegal occupant of the White House.
Thus my "taking a Biden" saying every morning ...
If they think gasoline is expensive now, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet, and then wait till they see the prices for “clean energy”. I like how they claim “everyone agrees with our assessment”. Yeah they do, just ... not quite the way they imply.
Ginger Goebbels peddling her lying garbage
Have to make “fossil fuels” more expensive so the alternatives can compete.
Handicap system for picking winners and losers. tax law is all about this - government LOVES to social engineer. They suck at it.
Build back better is a plan to destroy EVERYTHING and rebuild in their own liking and with their control over it.
Classic Obama trick:
That thing that I am causing is being used as a wrap on against me. And that is the real story. Not the thing I am causing but the reaction to if.
Now get out there media and do your jobs. Write some “pounce” stories and mention the white nationalism behind objecting to the thing I am causing. Failing that, the thing I am causing doesn’t exist and never has. It’s a dog whistle or something.
What a difference a year makes.
Covid shouldn’t have been a political cudgel either, but democrats insisted on it in an election year. Anyway, the economy is always a political cudgel and democrats own it. If it’s crap, so is the administration. Stop whining.
