Fact Check: Karine Jean-Pierre Claims Grocery Prices Went Down Under Biden

CLAIM: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Tuesday that grocery prices went down under President Joe Biden’s leadership.

VERDICT: False.

“Food prices jumped 6.3% in 2021, and 10.4% in 2022. In 2023, food-price increases slowed, with the index up 2.7%,” TheStreet reported.

To put that in perspective, Yahoo News reported that “a basket of groceries that cost $100 in November 2020 would now set you back $125.80.”

Prices continue to rise despite the slowing rate of inflation.

In May, the Consumer Index Price Report showed grocery prices increased from the previous month.

Compared to 2023, grocery prices jumped 1.1 percent.

Jean-Pierre claimed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that grocery prices went down. “Eggs and milk and there were grocery things that were up — it has gone down. It has gone down since 2022,” she said:

Her weave must be too tight.  She is making crap up again.

That's not what chicken prices at my supermarket are telling me.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If all these prices are going down, then Federal Employees must not need COLA for their paychecks, right?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't care what she says. Those of us who actually go to the grocery store every week know exactly what is going on.

I don't care either. I just want to know where she and all these other liars shop. Heck, I'll give it a whirl if she will say where all these cheap, falling prices are. Or maybe I could ask their maids. :shrug:

You can't even find a generic 2 liter for under $1.25 now days at a discount store... Coke/Pepsi products are around $3.00 or more. Can you say doubled in price Mr. Brandon?

...and I will tell you Karine Jean-Pierre that you are full of schlitz!

Our grocery bill has just about tripled under evil Joe. It is ridiculous to pay over $5.00 for an 8 oz pkg. of shredded cheese, $4.99 for a loaf of bread, $1.25 for one sweet potato, $15.99 for 20 chicken wings, $9.00 for 1/2 lb. deli turkey ....I don't think I need to go on as most people are experiencing outlandish grocery prices.

Whatever. It was nice that all the kids and grandkids chipped in and bought me a steak for Father's Day.

I'm stunned at how soft drink prices have soared since Biden took/stole office. More than doubled.
