Republican South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman has claimed that while prices are going up, it’s “for the good of the country.”
His comments were made during a Fox News appearance as host Jon Scott noted that many Americans are not supportive of President Donald Trump’s economic policies. A Fox poll recently showed that 44 percent of Americans back the president on the economy. Similarly, six out of 10 Americans blame Trump for driving up the cost of living, according to a recent poll.
“I think a lot of people are seeing higher prices,” said Norman on Saturday. “Our family’s in the construction business, and we get a lot of our timber from Canada and other countries. Yes, it’s higher. Steel prices are up, but it’s for the good of the country.”
The 72-year-old recently announced a run for governor.
“Should we expect high prices for a short time? Yes,” he added. “But overall, we couldn’t keep going the way we were going.”
There’s no integrity in America
Nice thing to say to people who’s income hasn’t kept up with inflation for the past 45 years.
Especially so in last 5.
Right? Surely they’ll listen, and stop voting Republican.
Lol I’m just kidding
Americans suffer so much because they are stupid, masochistic and want to be hurt for daddy Trumps benefit. Who are we to judge their kink?
GOP last year: “We need to do something about inflation!1!1!!”
