White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre must have some extra time on her schedule this week, as her boss is staked out at Camp David practicing standing up for 90 minutes straight for Thursday night’s debate with Donald Trump. Jean-Pierre doesn’t need a podium to lie, as she demonstrates here.

Actually, she’s not wrong that we saw gas prices go down under President Biden. First we saw gas prices go up to $7 a gallon in California, and once “Putin’s price hike” passed and the service stations stopped price gouging, we did see gas prices go down. They’re still not nearly what they were under the Trump administration, but there’s not present at record highs.

And you can’t fool anyone about the price of groceries, except maybe the people rich enough to have the help do their grocery shopping for them.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE:

“There were grocery things that were up — it has gone down!”

(Grocery prices are up 20%+ since Biden took office)

This is like claiming there’s zero inflation if the rate of inflation doesn’t change from the previous month. It’s still inflation.

She doesn’t understand what the inflation number even means.

If the inflation is the rate of price increases.

For prices to “go down” we would need negative inflation (also called deflation).

Ridiculous.

If there’s one thing people understand, it’s how much more they are paying for food and gas since Biden took office.
