Biden fudges inflation data, says price spikes ‘already there’ to shirk blame

WASHINGTON — President Biden claimed Friday that he doesn’t bear “any blame” for high inflation because it was “already there” when he took office — despite official data saying otherwise.

“Do I take any blame for inflation? No,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question after touting a stronger-than-expected January jobs report showing US unemployment at 3.4%, the lowest rate since 1969.

“Why not?” the journalist pressed.

“Because it was already there when I got here, man,” the president claimed.

“Remember what the economy was like when I got here? Jobs were hemorrhaging. Inflation was rising. We weren’t manufacturing a damn thing here. We were in real economic difficulty. That’s why I don’t.”
