CNN host Kate Bolduan cut off White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein as he tried to spin inflation numbers during an interview Thursday.
Bolduan questioned the Biden administration’s strategy for handling inflation, asking, “President Biden on December 10 said that he thought inflation was at its peak. The quote was, ‘I think it’s the peak of the crisis.’ It was not. And I remember very clearly our conversations over the summer when you were talking about inflation being transitory. It was not. Are you being clear-eyed enough about what’s going on here?”
Bernstein responded, saying, “Absolutely. I mean, I think the thing to recognize is that our team, at the insistence of the president, is focused on not just the month-to-month ups and downs, but on the underlying trends.”
