Joy Reid makes astonishing claim that Americans NEVER heard the word ‘inflation’ until the GOP ‘taught them’ after it soared to a 40-year high under the Biden administration
- Days before the midterm, the MSNBC host said GOP agents and politicians had “learned” US voters the term inflation ahead of the election
- Reid claimed the term is not part of the lexicon of ordinary Americans, despite the figure soaring to four decades during Biden’s presidency.
- Reid and fellow MSNC host Nicole Wallace claim Republicans are campaigning against inflation, while offering no real solutions to combat it
- Inflation, which reached 8.2% in September and was higher the month before, is impacting many Americans’ ability to provide for their families
Controversial MSNBC host Joy Reid has argued that the word “inflation” is not a standard part of Americans’ “normal lexicon,” and that most people who use it learned it during this mid-cycle of political agents.
Speaking to her network colleague Nicole Wallace, Reid said that “the only people I’ve ever heard use the word inflation are journalists and economists.”
The progressive host added that most people have “never used that word in their lives” prior to this election cycle, in which Republicans are highly favored for several reasons, including the bleak economic forecast.
While Reid – host of “The ReidOut” – argued that Republicans have been “teaching people to global inflation,” polls ahead of Tuesday’s election have consistently shown that the main concerns of voters right now are inflation, the economy in general. and crime.
Although the reality is that inflation in the US has reached its highest point in 40 years, leaving many Americans in difficult financial situations as they struggle to pay rent, basic amenities and food for their families. Reid chose to dismiss the concept, and in particular the word, as an elitist economic concept that would never enter the minds or mouths of ordinary Americans without the urging of GOP politicians.
September inflation reached 8.2%, a figure the Biden administration called “progress.” October inflation will be announced on November 10.
MSNBC host Joy Reid said Republicans taught Americans the word inflation ahead of this year’s midterm and would otherwise not be part of everyday people’s lexicon.
Inflation has reached a four-decade high during Joe Biden’s presidency and is seriously affecting the lives of Americans struggling to make ends meet.
Hostess Nicole Wallace said that despite the Republicans’ emphasis on inflation and crime during this cycle, they “have not presented solutions to their voters on either issue.”
Wallace may have missed the policies touted by Republican candidates like Lee Zeldin in New York — who has advocated for withdrawal of reforms on bail — or Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt’s plan to curb government spending ease the financial pressure on consumers.
Indeed, Wallace was thrilled to recreate the campaign trail of former President Barack Obama discussion points as Democrats approach on what could be a bloody Tuesday night.
Despite the serious financial predicament many Americans find themselves in due to rising inflation rates and a generally downcast economy, Reid’s take on the issue is that “it’s interesting that Republicans are doing something they don’t normally do, which is not plain language.” to use. , don’t just use plain English like they do on their campaigns, like they do with crime.”
Despite her claim that inflation is a term only used by high profile reporters and economists, the expert did say that the state where she lives, Florida, has become increasingly expensive.
“My family moved here because it was an affordable place to buy a hose. Not anymore. It’s now more expensive to buy in Miami than in New York,” she said.
