It's not a gaffe. A gaffe is an unintentional mistake. This is an
intentional bald-faced lie. And so is the media downplaying it as a mere
gaffe. Biden is lying and the media is lying about his lies.

Biden's team knows what the inflation rate was when Biden took office

It's also something the President doesn't have real control over.

 Well, much like the gas prices, the Biden people need to figure out if
he has control over it or not.
 When  gas prices go up, they plead "the president has no control over
gas prices".
 When gas prices go down, that empty can Jean-Pierre is up on the podium
before the press boasting about how Biden "lowered gas prices for
hard-working Americans".

I totally agree.  How, pray tell, does the fat fuck former President Trump, who is currently on trial for one of his many crimes, compare? If you're too afraid to put your comments in any sort of context just tell the group that you're too afraid because you're a chickenshit asshole.

Which is it? Because if you're gonna take the credit for prices
dropping, you can't then duck the blame when they rise.
 Same with inflation. If the president can't control inflation, then he
needs to stop going from one news outlet after another bragging about
how he lowered the inflation rate-- especially when it actually went up,
not down.
 But if he *is* going to brag about it, then he has to expect to be held
accountable when the inflation rate goes the other way.
