Left-wing Washington Post slams Harris' price-gouging crackdown
[NYPOST] Even the Washington Post isn't buying Vice President Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
' plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries.

The longtime, left-leaning broadsheet — owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos — published a scathing editorial ripping the Democratic presidential nominee for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only ''populist gimmicks.''

With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally earlier Friday, unveiled economic policies she'd enact during her first 100 days as president that include enforcing government price controls on groceries.

Instead of ''level[ing] with voters'' and saying ''inflation spiked in 2021 mainly because the pandemic snarled supply chains, and that the Federal Reserve's policies, which the Biden-Harris administration supported, are working to slow it,'' the veep ''opted for a less forthright route: Blaming big business,'' the newspaper wrote.
