DNC adviser claims Republicans responsible for inflation because of opposition to Build Back Better

DNC senior adviser Cedric Richmond claimed that Republicans are continuing to spark inflation by voting against President Biden's Build Back Better agenda.

Nikolas Lanum is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Richmond flatly denied the administration had contributed to U.S. inflation and pointed to Biden’s three-pronged plan to pull the U.S. out of the economic and social damages of the coronavirus pandemic, citing the American Rescue Plan and the bipartisan infrastructure package Biden signed into law.

But Richmond said the third prong, Biden’s Build Back Better plan, was unsuccessful, and would have lowered the cost of eldercare, childcare, and healthcare. Richmond considered these things "household costs" in his on-air response, and he blamed Republicans for inflation and for not helping to lower "household costs" by passing Biden’s agenda.
