DNC Adviser Laughably Tries to Blame Inflation on GOP Opposition to Build Back Better

With President Joe Biden’s efforts to pin the blame for 📈Inflation on Russia failing, Democrats are trying to blame it on Republicans for opposing the massive Build Back Better spending package.

CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Cedric Richmond, an adviser to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), on Tuesday if Biden bears at least “some responsibility for how bad things are.”

“No, Jake, if you look at the president’s three-pronged plan, in the beginning, it was to pass the American Rescue plan so we could get shots into arms, get schools back open, get the economy open and not shut down again, which all happened,” Richmond responded.

He continued, “Then it was to go do the bipartisan infrastructure deal so that we could finally start investing in American infrastructure, creating jobs right here in the United States, jobs that pay well. And then the third prong was to reduce those household costs — the cost of healthcare, the cost of eldercare, the cost of childcare — and continue to bring household costs down.”

Richmond then claimed that “all of the economists” said passing the Build Back Better Act would bring costs down.

“What you have is Republicans purposely obstructing it and keeping it from happening, then at the same time saying 📈Inflation is high,” he said. “But the Republican opposition just for the sake of opposition to legislation that would bring household costs down is what’s continuing to spark .”
