>> And that is inflation in the economy. I saw this headline is on twitter
from CNN and had to make me
just shake my head and chuckle
a little bit. This
was yesterday.
New vulnerable Democrats are
sounding the alarm over the
inflation crisis. And in some
of the most important
battleground races in the
country. The average cost of
goods has increased even higher
and the national average.
So it’s this whole story about
some.
Vulnerable Democrats up for
reelection. Who have decided to
get off their rear ends
and start making sounds about
the inflation crisis that they
are deeply concerned about you
understand.
And part of the problem is
while the national averages are
terrible. 40 year highs
on inflation. In some of their
states and districts, it’s even
worse. So the pain is more
acute. Therefore they could be
in more danger.
And in this story. Accompanying
the headline on
the tweet is a graphic
featuring 3 photographs of 3
United States senators. Mark
Kelly of Arizona. Maggie hasson
of New Hampshire.
And Raphael Warnock from
Georgia.
They’re all up this cycle
they’re all incumbents.
There are all vastly out
raising the Republicans by the
way in their races. They will
ask senator Scott about that
later.
But they all conceivably could
lose in November.
And a real wave Knight could
wipe all 3 of them out. Right
if the wave is uneven and sort
of week underwhelming they can
all survive.
Enthusiasm participation is
going to matter immensely but
they know it could be you know
a razor’s edge, a nice edge
race, a coin flip in either
direction and
if inflation is anywhere near
this bad, it certainly doesn’t
help their chances. So now all
of a sudden.
They’re out there telling
journalists how worried they
are how concerned they are
wringing their hands about
inflation.
Criticizing the White House
trying to distance themselves.
From the White House.
And the story talks about all 3
of the Senators.
That this is a deepening
political crisis. Problems for
president Biden and his party
and helps explain this whole
situation why vulnerable
Democrats have publicly run the
alarm about the issue how
brave. Thank you so
much senators
for ringing the alarm about the
thing that is crushing everyone
in this country. Thank you for
that. Such leadership.
Some Democrats
right CNN are starting to point
the finger at one another.
New Hampshire, senator Maggie
hasson a vulnerable Democrat
criticized the Biden
administration’s handling of
inflation. Saying
that the administration was too
slow to read to react. I mean
true.
It was a year ago that Joe
Biden today a year ago today we
play the clip last week Biden
said he didn’t know anyone who
is worried about inflation.
I was just transitory was minor
don’t worry about it.
And then it quickly pivoted
into well maybe it’s not so
minor and transitory but it’s
not our fault.
It’s putin and science greed.
It’s all this other stuff.
Meanwhile, they’re just out
there cranking out trillions in
new spending. Proposing even
more.
And while CNN says that people
like acid are pointing the
finger. At
fellow Democrats. All
3 of these senators should look
in the mirror and point the
finger directly at themselves.
Every single Democrats in Congress except for one. Congressman from Maine. Every
single one of them. All
their senators all their other
members of the House
voted in favor of the
2 trillion dollars so-called
rescue plan.
That experts even within their
own party were warning at the
time would be wasteful and
inflationary I know that the
White House now is pretending
like that’s not what.
Larry summers and others were
arguing back then but they
work.
Larry summers, former obama
Treasury secretary.
Said that the rescue plan
2 trillion dollars was quote
the least responsible
macroeconomic policy we’ve had
in the last 40 years. That’s
what he said at the time.
The most reckless fiscal
policy.
And that wreck in on that
policy he’d seen in 4 decades
because among other things of
the inflation threat
Steven Rattner a top adviser to
obama an economist. Wrote in
the New York Times that the
Democrats quote original sin on
inflation was. The 2 trillion
dollars in spending. That will
quote go down in history as an
extraordinary policy mistake.
That’s what they did.
All of these vulnerable
Democrats who are sounding
the alarm. On inflation.
They all voted for this
inflation. They were warned it
would be inflationary
they were warned it would hurt
the American people they did it
anyway because their partisan
hacks who vote with Biden
Harris Schumer and Pelosi no
matter what they do is walk the
plank and now they look This
isn’t getting so comfortable
for me politically let me
pretend that I had nothing to
do with this.
They might get away with it
unless voters. Down in Georgia
are you listening out in
Arizona are you listening.
Up in New Hampshire are you
listening. And a few other key
states.
Unless voters hold these
frauds accountable.
6 more years or in Congress 2 more years if you feel like that’s not the reward that they
deserve for what they’ve done
that vote them out. That chance
is coming very soon.
I want to make a point that I
made before and will continue
to make probably on at least a
weekly basis from now until
November.
These people all voted for
2 trillion dollars in wasteful
inflationary spending for
suppose in covid relief that
actually didn’t go to covid
relief which is why the White
House and then turned around so
we’re out of money. We’re out
of money on covid stuff like
testing. And vaccines and
Therapeutics give us
more money. I guess the
2 trillion dollars on top of
all the other trillions of
emergency just wasn’t enough.
It was an allocated for you
know covid stop even though
they called it covid stuff.
It was a chance to just fill up
a Christmas tree with a bunch a
left wing garbage and pass it
under the auspices under the.
It was a total sham, a wasteful. Catastrophic inflationary scan
and then every single one of
these people. Except for Joe
Manchin curse and cinema and
one guy in the House. They all
supported build back better.
5 trillion more dollars
in wasteful inflationary
spending.
7 trillion in all these people
supported in the House they all
voted for it. With the one
exception all of them. Just off
the plank they win into the
ocean. The shark infested
inflationary waters. Every
single one of the Pelosi said
walk. Do it. Do it. They said
yes, ma’am. And if not for
Joe mansion, putting his hand
up and saying stop. Kirsten
cinema along with him and build
back better. All the
other Democrats in the U.S.
Senate supported build back
better, including Raphael
Warnock Mark Kelly Maggie
hasson.
They want you to know how
terribly worried they are about
inflation. What they don’t want
to think about is the
7 trillion dollars of spending
new wasteful spending that they
supported in the last year.
Year and a half.
And if they got their way they
got their way on trillions if
they had gotten their way on
more trillions.
Imagine what this
conflagration would feel like
right now.
They weren’t warned I ready the
sound bites I read you the
quotes.
But blowing the whistle sounding the alarm ringing the bell on inflation. They’re
worried these vulnerable
Democrats pointing the fingers
at fellow Democrats. You did
this.
You built this. You voted for
this. Don’t run away from it.
Santa be like. Yes, I were the
code red. They would all do it
again.
They would all do it again
because ultimately it’s
expanding the government and
spending more of your money
with then more excuses down the
line to raise your taxes that
is the beating heart of the
Democratic Party that and
abortion. So not so much of a
beating heart there.
By the way one more point.
This is a different piece, not
the CNN story but this is an op
ed in the Washington Post.
Actually to columns from one of
their columnists. It’s a
column. There we go from one of
their columnists I’ve not heard
of him before Perry bacon
junior. He wrote a whole piece
and that’s actually a few of
these and I’ve seen people just
like you know leave britney
alone. But for Joe Biden it’s
just life is so unfair for Joe
Biden and people or so hyper
critical in this particular
iteration of that whiny when G
totally unconvincing argument.
What about the media. This
columnist at wapo is
criticizing the media. The news
media for being late for this 2
anti-biden.
The mainstream media has played a huge underappreciated role in President Biden’s declining
support over the past year.
It’s flawed coverage model
politics and government is bad
for more than just Biden
of course he said it’s bad for
democracy because anything that
annoys a liberal is did attack
on democracy. That’s how it
works.
He talks about how Biden’s
numbers really start to tank.
During the Afghanistan debacle.
Which he says quote closely tracked the media’s hysteria really hysteria.
We could see people falling off
of airplanes.
13 of our men and women were
blown up by terrorists.
We were leaving billions of
dollars of powerful military
equipment behind for the
terrorists to take over.
We were leaving Americans and
allies behind breaking the
promise. And this guys like
while the media coverage of
that was so hysterically bad,
it’s not fair and it hurt
Biden.
Because Biden is in such
bad shape. He writes in my view
media coverage is a big factor
in those warped polling
results. He says yes I am
calling for the media to cover
Biden more positively.
Propaganda eyes, harder you
guys. That’s his big message to
the media.
I don’t know what kind of drugs
you need to be on.
Just have lived through his
ascension human being the last
let’s say 6 use of our politics
and come to the conclusion that
the media is just too the
Democrats. And yet a lot
of progressives actually
believe that. Which
is amazing no one else does.
But this is like a piece of
doctrine on the left. That the
corporate media
is to fair to Republicans and
to negative toward Democrats.
These people would melt into
little puddles if they were
Republicans.
Cover Donald Trump or even
George W Bush
we’re just name any Republican
out there, Mitch McConnell all
the way on down. If these
people had to face
the onslaught of negativity and
hostility from the activists
left wing press on a daily
basis. They would lose their
minds they already think
they’re victims of the media.
It is dire ange and delusional.
Which is why I think they’re
losing.
There’s no grasp on reality
anymore. And when there is at
least something of an
understanding of reality like
on inflation. Who
who OS we don’t like this were
sounding the alarm.
And the here stop being so mean
to Grandpa Joe. Yes, I said it.
Covering more positively.
This
waving pompoms but no one is
