AMERICA DOESN’T RUN ON TOFU: Unhinged Biden Advisor Deflects Inflation Failure

It’s hard to imagine how the Biden administration, with a straight face, can blame the meatpacking industry for inflation, while at the same time handing out checks like candy, and supporting the Federal Reserve’s policy of nearly unlimited liquidity. But it’s happening.

Rather than take responsibility for driving up the prices on Americans’ favored forms of protein, Biden & Co. are instead choosing to blame businesses. In what may have been one of the most tone-deaf speeches ever, Biden’s Director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese told Americans that if you remove beef, pork, and poultry, inflation for groceries has been normal. Does he not recognize that’s what Americans eat? Watch.

Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) slammed Deese’s comments in a tweet, reminding Deese that “America doesn’t run on tofu; it runs on real food.”
