What is Joy Reid's net worth? Millionaire MSNBC host claims 'inflation' is a GOP CREATION in rant
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: MSNBC host Joy Reid is facing backlash after she made headlines for saying the word "inflation" is "not part of the normal lexicon" for Americans, and they have been only made aware of the concept by Republicans for political gain ahead of elections. Many were left baffled by her comments especially after inflation has risen to a four-decade high under Joe Biden's presidency.
Reid made the comments while appearing as a guest on Thursday, November 3 episode of 'Deadline: White House' .Speaking with fellow MSNBC colleague Nicole Wallace, she said the "only people I've ever heard use the word inflation are journalists and economists", and added that most people have "never used the word ever in their lives" unless there's an election. The September inflation rate hit 8.2%, with most Americans facing dire financial situation as they struggle to afford basic utilities and cope with expensive medical bills.
