Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Calls Out NBC Host
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called out NBC host Kristen Welker for cherry-picking inflation data during a Sunday interview on "Meet the Press."
Welker pressed Bessent over persistent price increases for a selection of everyday goods, pointing to coffee, beef, and bacon costs.
Secretary, coffee prices are up 19% from a year ago, beef is up almost 15%, and bacon is up almost 6%, just to name a few. So when are all grocery prices going to come down, as President Trump promised?
Bessent countered by arguing the Biden administration left behind a severe affordability crisis and that overall inflation has eased under President Donald Trump's leadership.
As much as I like you, you like to cherry-pick. You know, when we came in, it was 'eggflation, eggflation, eggflation.
