White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has claimed that “poor weather” is to blame for soaring food prices in Democrat President Joe Biden’s America.
During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre also claimed that illegal immigration is down 70 percent.
Americans have seen food prices soar by up to 12 percent on average since last year due to massive inflation.
However, the Biden administration wants to gaslight the taxpaying public into thinking its down to “supply chain bottlenecks,” “avian flu,” “war in Ukraine,” and “poor weather.”

The talking point is the same one that was pushed by the Wall Street Journal earlier this year.
In February, the outlet advised Americans who can’t afford food to stop eating meals.
Elsewhere, Jean-Pierre claimed illegal immigration is down 70 percent.
She tried to push the false claim to reporters despite the widely documented record numbers having crossed the borders in May, including waves of suspected terrorists.

When asked about the legal parameters of moving illegal immigrants around the country, Jean-Pierre said she “cannot speak to the law.”
"Does the White House think [flying illegal immigrants from Florida to California] is breaking the law?"

It was only last month when Jean-Pierre was roasted for falsely claiming that illegal immigration was down by 90 percent.
