Conservatives on Twitter were not buying President Joe Biden’s recent 
speech assessing the pandemic and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 
invasion of Ukraine as the two main issues behind the United States’ 
economic woes.

Around noon on Tuesday, Biden addressed the American public on the state 
of the economy. In addition to saying that his administration has made 
"extraordinary progress" with the economy, Biden blamed all economic 
hardship on COVID-19 and Russia.

"I want us to be crystal clear about the problem," Biden stated. "There 
are two leading causes of inflation we’re seeing today. The first cause of 
inflation is a once-in-a-century pandemic. Not only did it shut down our 
global economy, it threw the supply chains and the demand completely out 
of whack."

He then explained the other cause. "And this year we have a second cause, 
Mr. Putin’s war in Ukraine." He added, "We saw in March that 60% of 
inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for gasoline."

In response to reporters’ question about taking any "responsibility" for 
inflation, Biden stated, "I think our policies help, not hurt."

Exasperated with the Biden narrative that blamed external forces for 
inflation, conservatives took to Twitter to mock the president’s words.

"This is what Joe Biden's policies have done to prices in just one part of 
the economy," tweeted Townhall.com editor Spencer Brown, along with an 
infographic of the national average gas prices.

Fox News contributor Guy Benson, tweeted, "This speech is listless and 
somewhat adrift. Totally predictable talking points, filled with familiar 
specious claims."

Shortly ahead of the speech, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, shared a Reuters 
article claiming that Biden will blast Republicans for having no plan to 
stop inflation during the speech. He captioned the post with his own 
assessment about how Biden is harming the economy.

"Stop…spending…MONEY!!" Cruz tweeted.

Writer Kyle Becker blasted the entirety of Biden’s address, tweeting, 
"Biden is lying about his ‘solutions’ for inflation and the non-existent 
Republican plan for a ‘middle class tax hike.’ This gaslighting won’t work 
because the policies won’t work."

"Joe Biden will blame anyone and anything for inflation," tweeted MRCTV’s 
account. 

Washington Free Beacon reporter Joe Gabriel Simonson mocked one of Biden’s 
proposed inflation solutions, tweeting, "I am enjoying Biden acknowledging 
that higher taxes -- which sucks money out of the economy -- could 
theoretically ease inflation. excited to see where this thought takes 
him."

Conservative commentator Greg Price tweeted, "Biden says that he is taking 
inflation ‘very seriously’ before once again blaming it on covid and 
Putin." 

Breitbart White House correspondent Charlie Spiering tweeted similarly, 
writing, "’I want every American to know I'm taking it seriously,’ says 
Joe Biden about inflation before blaming the pandemic and Putin for all of 
the problems."

In another tweet Spiering described Biden’s address as a "Very defensive 
speech," and added, "So far Joe Biden hasn’t offered a single new solution 
to inflation even though he says it's his ‘top domestic priority’ A lot of 
shuffling and rehashing of previous efforts."
