Biden busted for claiming high inflation 'was already there' when he took office: 'Dead wrong and he knows it'
President Joe Biden was criticized Friday for claiming that he inherited high inflation when he entered office. Last year, under his administration, inflation climbed to 9.1 percent, a forty-year-high. When he first became president, inflation was only 1.4 percent.
Biden spoke at the White House about the January jobs report when he took questions from reporters. One journalist asked, "Do you take any blame for inflation, Mr. President?"
"Do I take any blame for inflation? No," the president replied.
The reporter asked, "Why not?"
"Because it was already there when I got here, man. Remember what the economy was like when I got here? Jobs were hemorrhaging, inflation was rising. We weren’t manufacturing a damn thing here. We were in real economic difficulty. That’s why I don’t. Thank you," Biden answered, then left the podium with reporters continuing to shout questions at him.
"If legacy media were not populated overwhelmingly by leftists, they’d explode over a lie told this brazenly. Inflation was at 1.4% annually until Joe Biden wanted his name on a stimulus package the country didn’t need," Duane Patterson, who works on Hugh Hewitt's show, tweeted.

Such a liar. The man is an imbecile. He thinks he can get away with this lie because the MSM won't call him out on it. Let's see if they do.
