This week, Kamala Harris offered some remarks about the rising price of food and other goods. She couldn’t admit that inflation is the fault of her own administration so she tried to blame grocery stores and corporations for supposed price gouging.
On The Five of FOX News on Friday, Greg Gutfeld reacted, reminding the audience that Harris’s claims are downright absurd.
He suggested that Harris and Democrats are treating the American public like idiots and that this line of thinking only works on the weak minded.

And the sooner or later you figure that out, the better off you’re going to be. And that’s directed at Democrats who don’t understand that these policies are going to sink this country…
There is no payoff for industries to increase artificially inflate their prices, because the people who drive the prices are the consumers. That is, if you want to understand supply and demand, it’s the consumers who drive the prices. There is absolutely no debate on this. There is not a single economist who would agree that this is the right thing to do.
Watch the video, this is great:
NEW: Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld absolutely rips Kamala Harris for her economic policy rollout that is being labeled as “communist” by some in the media.

Kamala Harris is completely out of her league on this topic. She lacks even a basic understanding of economics.
