Democrat claiming 'inflation rates are down' interrupted by higher than expected inflation report
Fox News
Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., was interrupted while defending President Biden’s economic on MSNBC by a report that showed overall prices increased in March.
"I do believe, just from my own observations, from the conversations I have had with people, there are concerns about things like inflation, but what we’ve got to get them to see is that inflation today is about 40% of what it was when Joe Biden took office. And so, the inflation rates are down, and people’s incomes are up. Unemployment is on the decrease. And although we see the prices at the stores costing more money, people are, in fact, earning greater incomes," Clyburn said. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

As he spoke, co-host Mika Brzezinski interrupted him to report on the news that inflation rose faster than expected.
