President Biden Makes Wild Claims in New Interview

I realize this may come as a real shock to some of you, but President Joe Biden just appeared on 60 Minutes and made some truly WILD claims.

There is so much happening in the news right now and we want to share our analysis on all of it, particularly our country’s current inflation woes that the President doesn’t seem to comprehend, but we couldn’t let these latest comments from the Commander in Chief go unchecked.

President Biden sat down with CBS journalist Scott Pelley for his first one-on-one interview in months. While much of the special was fluff, Pelley actually did take the President to task on some of the issues currently dogging working-class Americans. And not surprisingly, President Biden got a little testy when forced to answer for his incompetence.

At one point Pelley asked the President how Americans are supposed to afford groceries and care for their families with this current inflation rate, and President Biden essentially tried to gaslight not only him, but the entire country, when he said inflation has “hardly” gone up at all:

PELLEY: Mr. President, as you know, last Tuesday the annual inflation rate came in at 8.3%. The stock market nose-dived. People are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better, and faster?

BIDEN: Well first of all let’s put this in perspective. The inflation rate month to month is up just an inch. Hardly at all.

PELLEY: You’re not arguing that 8.3 is good news?

BIDEN: No I’m not saying it is good news. But it was 8.2 or 8.2 before. I mean, it’s not, you’re acting, you make it sound like all of a sudden my god, it went to 8.2%. It’s been . . .

PELLEY: It’s the highest inflation rate, Mr. President, in 40 years.

BIDEN: I got that, but guess where we are. We’re in a position where for the last several months it hasn’t spiked.

The amount of times I find myself saying something outrageous this Administration has done or said, which would be comical if it weren’t actually hurting Americans, is starting to feel incalculable. I actually applaud Scott Pelley for challenging President Biden on his nonsensical argument. CBS is certainly not a traditionally conservative media news outlet and it would’ve been easy to only pitch the President softballs for an hour, as other networks have done.

But listening to the President of the United States essentially say come on, sure things are getting worse, sure we’re doing a terrible job and people are hurting, but not AS QUICKLY as you’re saying is just beyond comprehension.

Mr. President, if it isn’t so bad, then why haven’t you been able to get in front of it and push it back down so Americans afford groceries and gas to get to work without worrying about what other bills they won’t be able to pay in return? The President claimed he’s “optimistic” about getting inflation under control. I wish I was, and so do countless American families right now. Unfortunately, we all see the President’s track record. This Administration ignores warnings of impending problems, and when the trouble hits, it throws its hands up and says what are we supposed to do about it?

For what it’s worth, Pelley asked the President for his feelings about those who say he’s too old or does not have the mental acuity to run for a second term, and President Biden asserted: “It’s a matter of, you know, that old expression, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

There you have it. We still don’t know if President Biden is going to run again. What we do know is the President clearly doesn’t understand that continually rising inflation, regardless of the speed, hurts Americans. I guess you could say the proof will be in the pudding.

It’s certainly an interesting strategy – when we’re less than two months from possibly the most critical midterm elections in decades – to chastise and accuse people of blowing the inflation issue out of proportion, but that’s what it feels like the President just did.

As my son, Logan Sekulow pointed out, it almost feels like President Biden is telling the American people to get used to these prices, and worse, because inflation might be here to stay. Let’s hope that’s not the case.
