dailycaller.com Fox News anchors John Roberts and Sandra Smith took turns pressing the Biden administration’s chief economic adviser Jared Bernstein on inflation.
Biden told Yahoo Finance on May 14 that inflation “was at 9%” when he took office, a false claim he has repeated as recently as May 8 and April 10. Smith and Roberts jumped on Bernstein for his defense of the Democratic president’s remarks, asking why Biden continuously repeats a claim that is “just not” true.
“The president continues to claim that it’s down from when he took office, and it’s just not. I mean, the Washington Post gave that four pinocchios. It was actually up 1.4% when Biden took office, so why do we see this administration continue to make those claims when really, inflation is still almost double what it was when he took office?” Smith asked Bernstein.
“Well, certainly the president knows the numbers you just said. What he was talking about there was, yes, when he got here, inflation was as you said, uh, but at the end of that year by the way, it was, it was about seven percent headed for nine percent. And so what he was talking about there is that the forces were clearly in place,” Bernstein said.
