A Pennsylvania Republican kneecapped Donald Trump’s claims that prices are falling moments before the president was supposed to take the stage for a rally in the battleground state.
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, who was sworn into Congress in January, spoke to MAGA fans on Tuesday evening before Trump took the stage to deliver remarks on the economy amid a nationwide squeeze on everything from beef to coffee.
After Mackenzie touted Republicans’ accomplishments on lowering social security taxes, the lawmaker made an eyebrow-raising admission that the Trump administration and Republicans have not brought down prices.
“There is more work to be done,” he said. “We know that’s not enough. We are not gonna rest on our laurels. We know so many people are struggling because of those prices from Joe Biden’s inflation. That does not mean that prices come down when we say that we have tamed inflation. It just means that we have stopped the rate of growth from that massive spending that was going on for four years.
He concluded, “We have a lot more work to be done.”
Trump, however, has repeated false claims that prices of groceries, gas and more have fallen.
