Vice President addresses climate crisis and defends Inflation Reduction Act during Seattle visit

SEATTLE — Vice President Kamala Harris created some unintentional irony on Tuesday, during her brief stop in Seattle.

She appeared at the McKinstry warehouse in a gymnasium that was not air conditioned, and of all things, talked about the weather. Her fans, were without fans, and sweated through their suits and dresses to hear her talk about climate change.

“Every day around the world, the impact of the climate crisis is stark, and it is vivid. We are seeing it in real time,” said the vice president, as part of a 13-minute speech that was centered on the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Harris said the IRA, passed by Congress last year and signed into law by President Joe Biden, helped jumpstart clean energy jobs and provide tax cuts for electric vehicle buyers in particular. But she was careful not to mention the word inflation, and whether the act has actually done anything to help lower it.

According to Labor Department statistics, inflation peaked at 9.1% in June of 2022, but it has still not settled down to pre-pandemic levels. Independent analysis has suggested that the IRA has not had a significant impact and the president has said he wishes the act was named differently.

Harris attended a fundraiser on the eastside before leaving the area, bound for Los Angeles.

One year ago, Democrats passed money-hungry Biden’s misnomered “Inflation Reduction Act” ....... after he woke up from his nap.

It deceptively provided an unprecedented $370 billion for “climate action,” and a cut for the Biden Crime Family, which “Biden said” could create up to 9 million new jobs over the next decade.

But ever since Biden got the salivating Congress to pass the idiotic Inflation Reduction Act, savvy truth-telling opponents exposed the Biden Act’s deceitfulness.

Biden’s effort is strikingly similar to the deception Obama foisted on American via the heinous Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, even falsely claiming that atrocity proved to be “successful.”

Didn’t that dumbass Biden call the inflation reduction act the Climate Control Facility or some such BS?
