Voters mock MSNBC's Joy Reid for 'ridiculous' claim about inflation: 'They think we're stupid'

A bipartisan panel of voters criticized MSNBC host for claiming that the media and the Republican Party taught Americans the word inflation.

On MSNBC Thursday, Reid said the word "inflation" isn’t part of common language. 

"Most people who would have never used that word ever in their lives are using it now because they’ve been taught it. Including on TV, including in newspapers, they’ve been taught this word," Reid said.

Margaret Nichols, who said she's a Democrat, laughed and called Reid’s assertion "absurd" as many Americans are feeling the impact of inflation firsthand.
