House Democrats Face Backlash Over Deleted Post Downplaying Inflation Concerns

A now-deleted social media post by House Ways and Means Democrats mocked Americans' struggles with rising grocery costs, drawing criticism after recent economic hardships and electoral losses.

House Ways and Means Democrats deleted a post on X that mocked economic concerns, referencing record Black Friday spending and joking about egg prices.
Critics, including Republican lawmakers and commentators, called the post tone-deaf, highlighting the financial struggles many Americans face due to inflation.
The cost of eggs has risen over 50% since 2020, with grocery prices overall experiencing significant increases under the Biden administration.
Polling shows that the economy remains a top concern for Americans, with 62% believing it is worsening and many blaming inflationary policies for their financial hardships.
The backlash comes shortly after Democrats suffered major electoral losses, with voters citing economic issues as a key factor in their decision to favor Republicans.
