Vice President Kamala Harris was slammed on Wednesday evening after her campaign announced that she would be revealing leftist price control measures to reign in inflation.
Harris helped spark the crisis three years ago when she cast the tie-breaking vote that moved President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan forward in the U.S. Senate. Inflation rates skyrocketed within weeks of the bill being signed into law.
Harris is seeking to follow in Biden’s footsteps by continuing the Biden-Harris administration’s policy of blaming “corporate greed” for the pain that consumers feel when shopping — a cynical and dishonest ploy designed to take advantage of people’s emotions who do not understand the root cause of inflation.
Harris will impose “the first-ever federal ban on corporate price-gouging” on grocers, left-wing NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor posted on X. Harris will “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” the campaign said.
