Move Over, Vlad — Buck-Passing Biden WH Now Blames Gov. Abbott for Raging Inflation – Opinion

Let’s start with some facts. Throughout his nearly 50 years in Washington, D.C., Joe Biden has never met a buck he didn’t pass like a proverbial hot potato. President Joe Biden has enjoyed the support of virtually all of his cabinet members, including White House Press secretary Jen Psaki.

Now, a question. Are Biden’s administration truly honest? BelieveIs this a ploy to pass the buck? Or do they know they’re lying and are simply pandering to their low-information base?

If Joe were a coherent human being capable of cognitive thought, I’d pick “b.” Besides, he’s a Democrat; it’s what they do. But Joe being Joe, I’m forced to opt for “all of the above.” I think the guy actually believes most of the lies he tells — particularly when those lies are shoved in front of him by his minders. And “b” is a given. An obvious example is the regime’s latest blatant lie, “Putin price hikes.”

I’m not going to waste the time or space dissecting and destroying Biden’s nonsensical blaming of Vladimir Putin for gas prices that have risen steadily throughout his disastrous presidency, but Biden even blamed Putin for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate soaring to 8.5 percent in March, as reported on Tuesday by my colleague Duke.

What now? What’s an embattled president to do as the U.S.S. Biden heads to the murky depths, engulfed in flames, the fault of the sinking ship’s namesake’s own deliberate actions? It’s simple: Keep passing the blame and, for good measure identify another person to be held responsible.

Greg Abbott, the Texas Republican Governor is who we should blame. There is no Florida governor Ron DeSantis. However, that’d be absurder. So why is the White House now attempting to blame Biden price hikes (“Putin price hikes,” if you’re a Democrat) on the Texas governor?

As reported by Fox News on Wednesday, the Biden administration blames Abbott‘s new enhanced commercial vehicle inspection policy, arguing that enhanced inspections of trucks transporting goods from Mexico to the U.S. are not only “unnecessary and redundant” but are also contributing to inflation — All over the country

Psaki made a statement on Wednesday, which Fox transcribed as:

Governor Abbott’s unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks transiting ports of entry between Texas and Mexico are causing significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains, delaying manufacturing, impacting jobs, and raising prices for families in Texas and across the country.

Yo, Jen? Question. Given that Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to implement the enhanced inspection policy on April 6 — just one week ago, as I write — how in the hell did the directive “delay manufacturing” already? Impact jobs? Are you ready to raise prices across America for your family? I’ll wait.

A policy which was implemented last week has been responsible for record-breaking inflation that Americans have endured for over a year. Joe knows better. https://t.co/TjVFCuolkz

And here’s a bonus question: The CPI rocketed to 8.5 percent in March.Is it possible that Abbott was partly to blame for this? Oh, wait — “Putin.” My bad.
