Newsom Suggests Inflation Is a Conservative Lie
2023-11-27
[Townhall] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA.) is suggesting that inflation— fueled by President Joe Biden’s Leftist policies— is a lie pushed by conservatives.

This week, Newsom claimed inflation plaguing Americans this holiday season is propaganda and nothing more than a fabrication being pushed by Republicans.

"Things you won’t see on Fox News today," Newsom posted on social media. "Prices for Thanksgiving are down — from Turkey to air travel."

The Democrat’s post included a chart showing price changes in items. According to data from the Labor Department, prices for peas, milk, stuffing, pie crusts, turkey, and cranberries have dropped from last year.

#14  Newsome has never had a "real" job what with at least 5 families helping him along. That is his "weakness" ....no personal experience with life in general.

#11  #9 Yep - it reminds me of the news one would see characters in sitcoms watching. Fake news for fake humans. Then there's the commercial breaks where 50& of the "commercials" are actually PSAs about "no hate". Some of those PSAs even list their constituencies, which then also tells you who their targets are.

#10  Brazen, calculated deceit for the propaganda media by the most loathsome, feculant, plastic politician ever to curse the Golden State.

#9  #6, We get hardly any news from our local TV station, it's mostly the "happy" kind of news and the reading of press releases from various organizations and businesses, never any hard news from city hall or Sacramento. The TV is really only good for sports and weather. I don't even bother to look at the San Diego Union-Tribune anymore. Investigative journalism is dead. In San Diego, you might never have heard about the fire under the I-10 overpass in LA. So, yes. The media helps Newsom by their refusal to report actual news.

#3, As for shopping in California, you aren't missing much especially if you want to buy anything that isn't Made in China.

#7  To Marie Antionett's, Pelosi's, nephew, it is. They have zero grasp on the realities of life.

#6  I think Newsom understands basic economics. He is betting that most people don’t have enough knowledge to prevent him from being held accountable for lying. He is counting on the media to help him out.

#4  Newsome suggests he doesn't understand basic economics.

#3  I never shop in California and have no plans to change my shopping habits.

#2  "From last year" doesn't count. How about from 2020?
