On 4/29/2022, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter about inflation and if it will have an effect on the midterms, and she literally claimed that it was just an ‘aberration’. She completely dismissed the shrinking economy and crippling inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrat party. A reporter asked Pelosi if the shrinking economy and record high inflation is going to have an effect on the 2022 midterm election. Pelosi dismissed the US GDP contracting 1.4% and said the financial woes are just an “aberration.” The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the economy is shrinking. The first-quarter GDP contracted 1.4%. Crippling inflation is at a 40-year high.
Pelosi said, “I think this is an aberration. There’s plenty other statistics in and analyses that had said this is an aberration and there are many other factors that show that we have growth in our near future. But what were worried about is what it means to the kitchen table. Again, not to the election, but to the kitchen table, the America’s working families. This is a president that has, under his leadership, 8 million jobs. 8 million jobs in one year. Again, a large part of that comes from the private sector. We respect that. Public, private, nonprofit, public and private initiative, individual initiative, but public policy on the part of Democrats in the Congress, as well as the president of United States, eight million jobs. Cutting unemployment in half, raising wages. And again, when that happens, inflation goes up, when you have unemployment going down, as we said. When you have supply chain issues, costs go up because supply goes down. So we have to deal with it, but I do think that if you read some of the other analysis that has surrounded that …”
On 4/28/2022, Representative Jim Jordan accused the Biden administration of ‘deliberately’ and ‘intentionally’ causing the southern border crisis as Republicans tore into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for being ‘out of touch’ and a ‘traitor.’ ‘It’s intentional, it has to be,’ Jordan said at the top of his remarks to the body.
The chaos on our southern border is not an accident,’ the Ohio Republican congressman continued. ‘It’s deliberate, it’s on purpose, it’s by design.’ ‘President Biden on Day One said there’ll be a moratorium on deportations, he ended Remain in Mexico, he terminated agreements with Northern Triangle countries and he stopped building the wall,’ Jordan rattled off. ‘Those policies, done intentionally, have led to all kinds of bad outcomes.’
He said: ‘Americans want legal immigration. President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas want illegal immigration. They want illegal migrants to come, stay and never go home. Now, the secretary won’t say that. In fact, he says everything’s just fine. He said it yesterday in two congressional hearings. He said it last September. Quote, ‘The border is secure,’ he told us.’
‘Mr. Secretary, if over 200,000 a month and all of the ramifications … if that’s a secure border, then you are completely, completely out of touch with the American people,’ Jordan charged. ‘We have a secretary of Homeland Security who is intentionally, deliberately, in a premeditated fashion executing a plan, his words, executing a plan to overwhelm our country with millions and millions of illegal migrants,’ he added. ‘All done intentionally,’ he concluded.
The House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member said during his opening statement that Mayorkas will face questions on why he implemented policies that led to the chaos.
