Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy blasted President Biden over the inflation that has occurred on his watch, snapping, “Inflation is gutting my people like a fish.” …
“I’m also sorry that the American people are going through Bidenomics,” he declared. “Bidenomics is pretty simple. It’s just bigger government, more spending, and higher prices. And I’ve said this before: At least in Louisiana, inflation is gutting my people like a fish. My people are getting really good at barely getting by. And in America, you shouldn’t have to take an early distribution from your retirement account or sell blood plasma in order to go to the grocery store.”
“And President Biden is out there saying prices are high and your 401K is crashing because the economy is so good,” he continued. “He just doesn’t get it. That’s why he’s polling up there with a fungal infection.”
[Kennedy does have a way with words. He’s right about the polling too, but one thing to keep in mind is that no one’s really polling well any more. Hillary Clinton won the Democrat nomination in 2016 and almost won the general election with net-negative polling; Trump actually DID win the election with net-negative polling. Biden beat Trump with slightly positive polling that quickly went deeply negative after his shameful abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan. The Republican nominee this cycle — no matter who it turns out to be — will be lucky to have a net-zero favorability rating. This is a consequence of the failure of confidence in political institutions, and it’s a dangerous trend. — Ed]
