Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal echoed other Democrats this week when she falsely claimed trillions of dollars in new spending is the best way to reduce inflation as consumer price soar across the country.
“The message really is, if you care about inflation, then pass the Build Back Better Act,” said the progressive lawmaker.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki -once again- refused to acknowledge Joe Biden’s role in skyrocketing prices and empty shelves this week; instead claiming Republicans are somehow “rooting for inflation.”
“Why, when Americans are seeing higher prices, are Republicans united against a bill to lower core costs on prescription drugs, health care, child care, and elder care?” asked Psaki rhetorically on social media.
“They’re rooting for inflation,” she answered.

The Press Secretary made similar comments last week.
“One in four Americans have experienced some kind of loss of income as a result of higher prices,” said one reporter during her daily briefing. “How urgent is it? Is there any sort of specific concern that this is going to affect the overall economy?”
“A lot of the talk about inflation in general out there, it’s become a political cudgel and it shouldn’t be. It’s impacting millions of Americans, no matter their political party,” said Psaki.

JAYAPAL GOES FULL OMAR: Rioters Just ‘Some Protesters at Some Building in Portland’
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal channeled Rep. Ilhan Omar during a recent interview on CNN this week; suggesting the 9-week-long riots in Oregon were just “some protesters at some building in Portland.”
“Those are causing far more deaths to American lives through the spread of CoVID-19 than some protesters at some building in Portland,” said Jayapal.
"Some protesters at some building in Portland"
Think Democrats don't have two standards of justice?
Riot, destroy businesses, throw feces (during a pandemic), set buildings on fire: OK

Jayapal launched a public tirade against the Attorney General just hours after his hearing on Capitol Hill; saying he’s the President’s “personal henchman” who gets “activated” when necessary.
“The single thing that emerges time after time, is that Bill Barr has always been -and will always be- the henchman for Donald Trump. He acts as his personal attorney to get things done. Donald Trump activates him when he needs something done,” said Jayapal.
“He’s using the Justice Department on every level without regard to equal justice under the law. That’s really clear over and over again,” she added.
