Chief Warren’s Biggest Whopper A Half-Baked Turkey?

The WSJ’s “Stupid Inflation Tricks” calls out Democrats & esp. Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren for “coming up with new culprits to blame for rising prices” instead of their own naïve progressive policies on the assumption Americans are too “stupid” to know the score.

The editors begin by noting how “President Biden has blamed the OPEC cartel for producing too little oil & accused US oil & gas producers of market manipulation.” But their “favorite stupid inflation trick has to be Elizabeth Warren’s attempt to blame a poultry cartel for the higher cost of your Thanksgiving dinner.” So incensed was Warren that she tweeted “I’m asking DOJ to investigate” because “Americans are paying record high prices for their Thanksgiving turkey while big poultry companies are paying billions in dividends, giving CEOs raises & abusing their market power.”

Concluded the WSJ, however: “You know Democrats are desperate when they have to invent a new example of business collusion for the soaring price of meat. We’re supposed to imagine the fat & happy execs from Big Poultry sitting around a table, or maybe on a Zoom call, saying here’s the plan: We’ll stick it to our customers by raising prices on staples for the one day of the year that will really infuriate them … Ms. Warren may have taught law at Harvard, but she apparently thinks Americans are stupid.” Well, some do still believe she’s a Native American Indian …
