Karine Jean-Pierre floundered when pressed to defend President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act on Tuesday. Reporters suggested she was misrepresenting the bill.
"Look, experts economists have said themselves that … the Inflation Reduction Act would be beneficial to let three hundred the extra three hundred billion dollars in deficit," Jean-Pierre responded."That is really important as we have right now $1.7 billion in deficit reduction under this administration. It would help lower that even more, which is incredibly important."
"And so, look, we've heard from Republicans and Democrats who [were] US Treasury secretaries who said it would lower inflation. We've heard from more than 126 economists said it would lower inflation," she added. "Is it fair to suggest to people that somehow they're going to see some inflation reduction right now while they're hurting the most?" the reporter pressed.
