...... 46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.......’s top spokesperson was accused of lying on Wednesday in a tweet touting "0% inflation in July" — even as federal data indicated that the consumer price index rose by 8.5% year over year.
"We just received news that our economy had 0% inflation in July," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted on Wednesday.
"While the price of some things went up, the price of others, like gas, clothing, and more, dropped."
Jean-Pierre also hailed the dip in gasoline prices, which she called "the fastest in a decade" which was "saving American families with two cars $106 per month on average."
In the same tweet thread, Jean-Pierre wrote that "real wages went up for the first time in almost a year." She also urged the House to pass the Inflation Reduction Act "as soon as possible" in order to "lower health care, prescription drug, and energy costs."
But Twitter users pushed back against Jean-Pierre’s claims.
