Fox News host Sean Hannity blasted President Biden for the nation’s decades-long inflation high Friday on “Hannity.”

Now, inflation went up yet again to an all new, 41-year high, 8.6%. Now the cost of food is up 10.1%. The cost of housing, 7%. Rent is up in some places as high as 20%. Household energy bills, they’re up a whopping 19.1%. And meanwhile, the average cost for a gallon of gas has now more than doubled since Biden took over as president.

Now, naturally, Biden himself has not accepted any of the share of responsibility or blame. Forget the trillions of dollars in new spending, the artificial reduction of the world’s oil and gas supply because of his, well, adherence to climate alarmism and that religious cult. And according to Joe, that has nothing to do with gas prices or inflation.
It has everything to do with it.
