New Press Secretary Struggles To Answer Questions On Inflation Crisis

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre – who just replaced former Press Secretary Jen Psaki – spent her first day struggling to answer questions on the ongoing inflation crisis, going as far as to reference climate change in her attempt at explaining what President Biden’s administration is doing to combat rising prices. “The President’s Twitter account posted the other day, ‘You want to bring down inflation?  Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.’  How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?” Fox News’ White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked. “So, are you talking about a
