Karine Jean-Pierre was a guest on Don Lemon’s show on CNN. During the show, she claimed that Americans could take on inflation as a result of Biden’s “American Rescue Plan.” She wanted the audience to understand the position that Joe Biden was in back in January 2021. He had to go from a pandemic impacted economy to one that saw prices increases after the Russians invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre said on CNN that Americans must understand the position President Biden was in when he took office and asserted that the U.S. economy is “bouncing back.” She added that the administration believes they are in a “good position” to take on inflation.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to remember when thinking about gas prices and food this is coming from Putin’s war against Ukraine,” Jean-Pierre caveated. “The moment that Putin amassed forces on the border of Ukraine, we saw from then until now, we have seen a $2 increase per gallon on gas.”<\/p>\n

Host Don Lemon then interjected, and pressed Jean-Pierre on her claim that rising prices were only attributable to the war.<\/p>\n

“Economists do cite the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues. We did have that before the war, supply chain issues,” Lemon said. “They also say that last year’s stimulus package, which you mentioned, contributed to inflation, Karine. Does the Biden administration bear some responsibility for this?”<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre touted the importance of the American Rescue Plan and said that the U.S. is in a “good historic economic place” where the country can take on inflation. She also claimed that the country is transitioning to “steady, stable growth.”<\/p>\n

“So, first of all, the American Rescue Plan met the moment, and it has put us in a place where we can actually put us in a place where the American people feel — can actually, we can take on inflation. What I mean by that is we’ve seen growth, right, with as I mentioned more than 8 million jobs. Now we’re transitioning into a steady, stable growth,” she told Lemon.<\/p>\n

Last month, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg declined to say if the $1.9-trillion American Rescue Plan contributed to inflation. He claimed that economists would be “debating” that question for “decades.”<\/p>\n

Buttigieg also said the economy was at a “very real risk” of collapsing before the plan was placed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
