Washington, D.C. – Americans across the country are struggling with record high inflation, unaffordable grocery prices, and skyrocketing gas prices, but Democrats refuse to accept responsibility or take action to address the issue.
Florida Congresswoman Val Demings is more focused on staying on the good side of her party’s leadership and voting 100% of the time pushing forward their reckless spending agenda. In the meantime, her Florida colleague Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy has been anything but shy of speaking up.
“In a recent conversation with Insider, the 43-year-old Blue Dog lawmaker [Murphy] spoke of the need to help families struggling financially, and criticized the Biden administration for using the term “transitory” in discussing inflationary issues last year. She also lamented the failed Democratic push to pass a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill in tandem with the nearly $2 trillion Build Back Better social-spending framework.

“I think when you tell a working mom who is struggling to put the same amount of groceries into her shopping cart that inflation is just ‘transitory,’ you’re not connecting with the concerns that she has,” she said. “What does that even mean? They feel it today and to combat emotions with economic data points really created a sense that Washington wasn’t attuned to the struggles of the American people.” – Insider
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco: “Val is hoping to gain a promotion in Washington by claiming she cares for Florida families, but she hasn’t stood up for Floridians who are struggling. Is it because she agrees with her party’s position that inflation was supposed to be transitory? Floridians deserve to know.”
