McConnell Blames Biden For Price Hikes As Price Gougers Shower Him With Cash

Mitch McConnell is doing everything possible to convince the public that President Biden is to blame for all of the price hikes we see today. And at the same time, McConnell is raking in millions of dollars from corporate price gougers. This is a classic case of Republican misdirection, and because the media does such a poor job of telling these stories, McConnell's narrative will stick while his actions go unnoticed by most. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

American families, even some of those making more than six figures per year are struggling. As inflation continues to rise here in the United States and Republicans like Mitch McConnell have made clear that their strategy heading into the midterms, as of course do blame president Biden and the Democrats for all of this inflation, all those financial problems you are suffering from it's because of Biden and McConnell went as far, last week as to accuse Democrats of gaslighting the public. By trying, trying to say that some of these price hikes we see are from corporate price. Gougers uh, the Democrats are gaslighting you about that, even though many of these price gougers companies like Kroger and Johnson and Johnson, uh, they've actually admitted that they're just raising prices on consumers right now because they can, and many of them are on the record in the past as saying times of hyperinflation, like we see now are the perfect time to arbitrarily raise prices on consumers.

So the corporations have literally admitted what that they're doing, what Mitch McConnell says, the Democrats made up, like it's not really happening. Even though the corporations say, oh no, we're totally doing it. So there's another reason why Mitch McConnell is out there saying no. What these companies say is happening totally isn't happening. And the reason McConnell says that is because McConnell has pulled in well over a million dollars from these same corporations that are screwing you over every time you go to the store, those of course are corporations like Walmart, Kroger, Chevron, and Johnson, and Johnson and Ford that have given Mitch McConnell 1.2, 4 million in the last year. So they're effectively paying him to be stupid. They're paying him to lie to you about what's actually happening with inflation right now is inflation happening just regular old inflation. Absolutely. And it is happening to a terrifying level, but is that the only reason you're paying more for everything in your life right now?

Hell no. As I said, these corporations have admitted it they're on the record saying it. They're like, yeah, we we're raising prices right now. We're passing this on to consumers in a greater way than we are being affected. We're paying our CEO and our shareholders, these exorbitant amounts of money. We're making bigger profits than ever. And it's because we're increasing prices on consumers. Now, here is the problem with this particular story. And again, by the way, it's actually just Mitch McConnell. There's three, uh, Senate Republicans and 15 house Republicans, uh, that are pulling in huge, huge, huge sums of money from these corporate price. Gougers while these Republicans are blaming Democrats for inflation and ignoring the role of the corporations and their in lies the problem, because the media's not gonna tell this story, right? You're not gonna see on corporate media, them going after these corporations, your Krogers, your Publix, your Walmarts, your Johnson and Johnsons, and then say, we'll be right back after these messages. And it's commercials for Walmart, Kroger, Publix Johnson, and Johnson and Ford. That's why they don't tell these stories. So they talk about the Mitch McConnell part. They say, well, they're calling it Biden, inflation and Republicans are running with this message. And yeah, inflation add, and they'll, they'll have their big boards up there and the monitors and the numbers to scare you. But the numbers they won't be showing you is the amount of money that these corporations are putting into these politicians on the right and on the left.

Because those same corporations that are putting all that money behind those politic are the same corporations that you see during those commercial breaks. And it's not worth it for these media outlets to off their advertisers. So they don't give you the full story. If the public knew what was really happening right now, if they knew that Mitc
