NSC spox Kirby responds to Bezos accusation of WH inflation ‘misdirection’
John Kirby insisted that Biden has been upfront and honest

    National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby took issue with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's recent claim that the Biden administration is guilty of either "misdirection" or ignorance when it comes to rising inflation.

During a "Fox News Sunday" interview, Kirby rejected this idea and insisted that President Biden has always been upfront with the American people.

"Anybody who knows President Biden knows he’s plainspoken. And he tells you exactly what he’s thinking and in terms that everybody can understand," Kirby said. "So I think we obviously take great exception at the idea that this is somehow misdirection."

After Biden tweeted Saturday that those setting the prices at gas stations need to lower them at "a time of war and global peril" to be more in line with their own costs, Bezos retweeted while criticizing the White House.

On Sunday, Kirby insisted that it's "neither" of those. He said that Biden told the American people that supporting democracy in the form of aid to Ukraine "would not be cost-free," and that president is not just pointing fingers but trying to do what he can as well.

"The American people are facing pain at the pump, clearly. Now we’re, what, at five dollars a gallon? And the president is working very, very hard across many fronts … to try to bring the price down," Kirby said.

Why is the National Security Council involving itself in a discussion about inflation?  Shouldn't we be hearing from the Treasury Dept. or the Council of Economic Advisors instead?

How did Bidens being mentally damaged become a fanatically flawlessly WOKE agenda fanatic, driven like a person is rarely seen to do?  Or is Biden just a highly successful manipulative narcissist living in the Global WHO club doing what needs to be done to fulfill the End Times agendas of Satan?
Are simple minded saps lock-stepping to lead us all over a cliff, including themselves?

Kirby has always been and will continue to be a LIAR. Nobody believes a word he says. He has zero credibility.

Okay, it's not misdirection on Biden's part -- he's plainspoken and all that. In that case it is complete economic illiteracy on Biden's part, which is not good either.
