St. Louis Mayor: Dem Policies Aren’t Causing Problems in Cities, We Have ‘Historic’ Inflation
Breitbart ^ | 07/05/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 07/05/2023 5:04:32 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with the Fox News Rundown podcast released on Tuesday, St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones responded to a question on whether problems in major cities are due to Democratic leadership and policies by stating that we have to consider the state of the economy where we’re “in the midst of a historic inflationary period coming out of a pandemic.”

Host Jessica Rosenthal asked, [relevant exchange begins around 20:55] “And in terms of maybe some — when you look around the country…most of our larger cities are run by Democrats. So, this is where the conversation does get political. I’m from Los Angeles, major retailers have closed up shops in Santa Monica. The homeless situation is unlike anything people have seen, people who have been in L.A. their entire lives, that includes my parents. You see retailers in San Francisco closing too. Home values have gone down there as people leave. I wonder about that political conversation, when people say, these cities are run by Democrats, Democratic policies, what do you say in response to that?”

She’s just too young to remember the double-digit inflation of the 1970’s.

Consider the demographic. A female and black. She’s just genuinely stupid. She doesn’t know how inflation is caused. She thinks it’s like genital herpes, viz. you get it from a dirty water fountain.

She can say whatever she wants and her “urban” voters will continue to vote the same way, as long as the goodies keep coming. This is why I have zero sympathy for these urban dwellers and their offspring.

A lie, but even if it WAS true, inflation IS a “DemoKKKrat Policy.”

This guy is a disgusting pus-breathing chode hyena.

And where does this idiot think the “historic inflation” came from?

Trump, of course.

The only things stupider than this guy are the individuals who actually believe his BS and keep electing him (or cheating on his behalf).

Well of course. What else would one expect her to say? When reporters asked Joe Bonanno in the 60s if the Mafia was real, he said no. Did they really expect him to say yes?

“...we’re “in the midst of a historic inflationary period coming out of a pandemic.”


But, but, the so-called leader of the Free World claims that ‘Bidenomics’ is the greatest thing that has ever happened to America.

It also tends to be even worse with black democrats. Look at Detroit since the historic election of Coleman Young...
