Joy Reid claims everyday Americans never heard the word 'inflation' until GOP made it a campaign issue

Reid claimed many voters 'never used that word ever in their lives,' but have been 'taught it' by Republicans

Gabriel Hays  |  November 4, 2022  | 10:55am EDT

MSNBC host Joy Reid said that the word "inflation" is "not part of the normal lexicon" for Americans, and that they are only concerned with the concept because Republicans have taught it to them for political gain.

Reid added that most people would have "never used that word ever in their lives" before this election cycle.

The liberal host's comments seem to follow growing frustration among mainstream media pundits over polls showing that the biggest issues for voters ahead of the midterm elections are inflation, the economy in general and crime — issues that tend to favor Republican candidates, according to polling.

Reid made her comments while appearing as a guest on Thursday’s episode of "Deadline: White House." Host Nicolle Wallace began by stating, "You know, what’s notable to me is that Republicans say they’re running on inflation and crime. Republicans have not presented any solutions to their voters on either of those topics."

She then asked the "ReidOut" anchor how crime and inflation are affecting the midterm races in Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio have sizable leads over their Democratic opponents.

Although inflation is still near 40-year-high levels at 8.2%, Reid tried dismissing the phenomenon as some elitist economic concept. "The only people I ever hear use the word ‘inflation’ are journalists and economists," Reid told Wallace  .  .  .

This is what liberals think of you - that you're too stupid to have had known what inflation was.  And even worse, to now have been taught.

Well she may be correct about the average American, they may substitute getting screwed(or something a bit more..earthy) for inflation, but implying that Americans don't understand what inflation is? What else would one expect from an elitist socialist trying to cover for the incompetence of her party's leadership.

MSNBC’s Reid: GOP Taught People the Word ‘Inflation” Most Never Used that Word

Pam Key 4 Nov 2022

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Thursday on “Deadline” that she never heard everyday people use the word “inflation” until Republicans turned it into a campaign issue.

Reid said, “You know what is interesting too, is that I have actually never heard a person who isn’t an economist or works on CNBC, I used to do CNBC a lot as a guest, I used to do Larry Kludow show all the time, a couple of times a week, and the only people I ever hear use the word ‘inflation’ are journalists and economists. So that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. So, it’s interesting Republicans are doing something they don’t normally do which is use the common tongue not use just common English to do on their campaigns like they have with crime.”

She added, “But what they’ve done is they’ve taught people the word inflation. Most people who would’ve never used that word ever in their lives are using it now because they’ve been taught it, including on TV, including in newspapers. They’ve been taught this word.”

The first time I was taught the word inflation and that it had a meaning other than to put air in a balloon or tire it was by Jimmuh Carter a democrat and it directly impacted me. The next time I was really impacted by inflation it was again democrats Barry and Brandon that drove the definition home. Now once again the word inflation and it's harsh lesson is impaling America with the harshest lesson definition yet and it is once again not by a republican but by socialist democrats gone insane with power. Joy Reid is an ignorant party hack, and if she was a republican the democrats would gleefully refer to her as a house n____r.
