Biden slammed for claiming 8.2% inflation shows ‘progress’: ‘What planet is this guy on?’
President Biden claimed if Republicans win in the midterm elections, inflation will get worse
By Lindsay Kornick | Fox News

President Biden was blasted after his comments attacking Republicans following the September inflation report on Thursday.

Biden appeared in Los Angeles to deliver remarks on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and its impact on voters. His speech came after a new Consumer Price Index report revealed that inflation rose 8.2% in September compared with the same time last year, higher than initial predictions indicated.

Though Biden was more optimistic about the news, he also took the time to accuse Republicans of intending to make inflation worse should they retake Congress in 2022.

"Today’s reports, though, show some progress. Overall, inflation was 2% over the last three months. That’s down from 11% over the prior three months. That's progress, but a lot of it has resulted from getting the cost of living at the gas pump down, now even in California, by more than $1 nationally," Biden said.

He added, "If Republicans win, inflation is going to get worse. It’s that simple."

Twitter users attacked Biden’s comments for ignoring the impact of higher than expected inflation rates as well as attempting to shift blame to Republicans.

"He has no idea what's happening with inflation today. They just hand him something to say and he says it," The Spectator’s contributing editor Stephen Miller tweeted.

Biden Flunks Another Inflation Exam

You know things are bad when even the mainstream press is admitting that the latest inflation numbers “soared far above expectations last month” and that this is “wiping out pay gains.” But, according to President Joe Biden, Thursday’s report on inflation “shows some progress in the fight against higher prices.”

What progress? Inflation was up 8.2% in September, compared with the year before. And that’s on top of last September’s 6.2% increase.

Here’s another way to look at it.

In the 21 months since Biden took office, the Consumer Price Index has shot up 13.5%. That compares with 4% in the first 21 months of the Trump administration. (See the chart below.)

How can Biden claim "progress" when he hasn't done a single thing to bring about progress?  Every single action he has taken has exacerbated inflation, not relieved it.
