Kari Lake aids families hit by Bidenflation this Christmas

Arizona⁢ Senatorial Candidate Kari Lake Steps Up to Help Families Suffering ‍Under Bidenflation This ​Christmas

Call it a one-two punch⁣ from Arizona senatorial candidate Kari Lake:⁣ collecting toys for needy ‌Arizona families and ‍torpedoing President Joe⁤ Biden’s administration for its handling of inflation at the same time.

Lake, the 2022 GOP⁤ gubernatorial standard-bearer in⁤ the state and the 2024 front-runner to represent the Republicans in what ⁤will likely be a three-way race to determine who takes independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat, is one of many public figures running toy​ drives ⁤this Christmas season.

However, the former news anchor-turned-politician made it clear just why so many families will be hurting when it comes to putting toys under the tree in 2023.

In⁢ a recorded ⁤message posted to social media on Monday, Lake emphasized that “while it’s a time for joy and celebration,​ we also have to acknowledge that it’s ⁢going to be a harder one for our families than it was​ in years previously.

“Joe Biden’s economy‍ is⁤ making it increasingly tough for families to put food on the table,​ gas in the car⁣ and ⁣put presents under ​the Christmas tree,” Lake ⁣said in the message.

Thus, she emphasized, “in these difficult times, it’s important that we come together and give back to our community.”

“Every one of these toys will​ go to help ‍ease the burden on ​hardworking Arizona families and help bring a smile to a⁣ precious child’s face,” she added.

Arizona, I’m delighted ‍to invite you‌ to join me & Santa Claus for a Christmas Toy Drive.

We’ll be accepting donations at Handlebar J in Scottsdale tomorrow starting at 3:30.

Please bring the kiddos a ​new and unwrapped toy!

The event‍ was held at Handlebar J, a ‍BBQ restaurant and bar in Scottsdale that has hosted other events for Lake in the‌ past.

And, would⁢ it be a proper ⁢Christmas toy event without that right jolly​ old elf himself? I‌ think not:

Sadly, St. Nick isn’t going to ⁤be able to‌ handle inflation ⁣with just a miniature​ sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, no matter how hard the ​folks at the North Pole are working this Christmas. In the ​White House, of course, they could be ​doing something about it — but, at ‍this point, Joe Biden has⁣ been reduced to tacitly threatening companies who raise‍ prices⁣ on social ​media.

That last part isn’t a joke, sadly. Here’s⁢ our president just after Thanksgiving shaking his digital fist at the dog-faced ⁣pony-soldier corporations‍ making his economic policies look bad during the holiday season:

Let me be clear ​to ‍any corporation that hasn’t brought their prices back down even as inflation has come down: It’s time to stop the price gouging.

Give American consumers a break.

And let us be clear about ⁣inflation coming ⁣down: While the numbers‍ are nowhere near the sky-high inflation rates we saw in ‍2022, those price shocks are still built into⁣ the American economy — and the inflation rate‌ still remains well above the Federal Reserve’s target rate, no matter how many times Grandpa Joe’s social media ‌interns ⁤go ⁤on X/Twitter and accuse American companies of “price gouging.”

Bureau ⁢of Labor Statistics data show that⁣ the Consumer Price Index was up 3.2 percent in October — a smaller number than the 3.7 percent in September, but that was aided by easing energy prices, which largely has to do with ⁣ seasonal variations in consumption.

And, according to ‌data from the National Christmas Tree Association, reported by Fox Business last month, the cost of Read More From Original Article Here: Kari Lake Steps Up to Help Families Suffering Under Bidenflation This Christmas
