Psaki Tries to Blame Putin for Inflation
11 Apr 2022
BUCK: (impression) Let’s say, like, maybe inflation, like, is not that bad ’cause, like, maybe you should inflate things, like, we need a raft in the pool, Clay, what do you do? You inflate it.
Jen Psaki is here telling us that inflation’s like not gonna be good tomorrow, guys, but it’s Putin’s fault.
PSAKI: So, because of the actions we’ve taken to address Putin — the Putin price hike we are in a better place than we were last month. But we expect March CPA — CPI — headline information to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin’s price hike.
“We need to do more to reduce costs for the American people.”

BUCK: Putin’s price hike, Clay!
CLAY: This is such a lie. I mean, first of all, inflation was 7.9% essentially before anything happened in Ukraine, right?
I mean, the numbers were baked in, only a few days in the last CPI number had anything at all to do with Ukraine and Russia. They tried to argue the 7.9% was somehow created and connected to Putin.
This is even more duplicitous of an answer here because there’s going to be no basis in fact for why we are at another 40-year high, that it’s because of Putin. It’s because of United States issues.
And, by the way, global issues, but certainly our inflation issues are not suddenly arising because of what happened in Ukraine and Russia. Could it be a bit worse because of that? Yes, but not a bit worse to take us to a 40-year high, right?
BUCK: I think you’re forgetting now, what do you do when you have a flat tire? You inflate it. Psaki wants to have a word with you.
CLAY: Oh, my God. She’s going to MSNBC and gonna get paid tens of millions of dollars, probably, based on performances like that.
