Pappas and Kuster play the blame game

February 22, 2022

Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster are playing the blame game.

Pappas and Kuster both acknowledge inflation is a problem – but they both blame the pandemic with no mention of their reckless spending spree that caused the inflation crisis.

Kuster went so far as to irrationally suggest a change in Centers for Disease Control guidance on masking in March would bring inflation down.

“The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight. I think March,” she said. “I’ve got my sights set on St. Patrick’s Day. Let’s burn the masks and move on. And I think that’s what’s gonna help bring down inflation.”

NRCC Comment: “Chris Pappas and Annie Kuster are desperate to deflect from the fact that Democrats’ reckless spending sprees spurred the worst inflation crisis in 40 years.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
