Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, slammed the Biden administration on Sunday for doing “everything wrong.”
During an exclusive interview with “Sunday Morning Futures” the congressman argued that President Biden has “given” Americans “record crime” and inflation during his first year in office.
Jordan made the comments three days after it was revealed that annual inflation is running at the hottest pace in nearly four decades as widespread supply disruptions, extraordinarily high consumer demand and worker shortages fuel rapidly rising price increases.
Prices soared by 5.7% through November, according to the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index data released Thursday morning. That topped the previous month’s rate of 5%, becoming the fastest pace increase since February 1982, when the gauge hit 6.17%.
The inflation spike largely reflected surging energy costs, which rose 34% from a year ago, and food costs, which were up 5.6% over that same time period. Services inflation rose by 4.3% in November, and goods inflation increased 8.5% – up from the 7.6% pace a month prior, the data shows.
“The American people would like safe streets, they’d like affordable gas and they’d like freedom,” Rep. Jordan argued on Sunday. “Instead what Biden is giving them is record crime, record inflation and Dr. Fauci.”
“You pick the policy area, they’ve [The Biden administration has] done it wrong,” he added.
Jordan then argued that in “literally in 11 months,” the country “went from safe streets to record crime.”
“We went from a secure border to complete chaos,” he continued. “We went from stable prices to now record inflation. We went from projecting strength around the world to the debacle that was the exit in Afghanistan.”
A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
