<p>Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary claimed on Wednesday that people needed to back off President Joe Biden and &#8220;stop complaining&#8221; about high gas prices and inflation because &#8220;Americans are not suffering as much as they think they are.&#8221;</p>
<p>Singletary made an appearance on MSNBC to discuss <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/fed-chair-jerome-powell-says-recession-is-a-possibility-but-remains-strongly-committed-to-killing-inflation/">inflation</a> and <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/msnbc-guest-busts-out-his-boy-band-best-during-live-segment-on-gas-prices/">gas prices</a> ahead of Biden&#8217;s call for a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-calls-for-three-month-pause-to-federal-gas-tax/">three-month gas tax holiday</a> — and his continued calls to gas companies to absorb the costs of increasing production in order to ease consumer costs at the pump.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">WaPo’s Michelle Singletary: “There’s a great deal of Americans where it is uncomfortable that they’re spending more, but they are not going to go under.

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just going to say this and if I get dinged for it I don&#8217;t care,&#8221; Singletary began. &#8220;There is a great deal of Americans where it is uncomfortable that they&#8217;re spending more, but they are not gonna go under. You&#8217;ve got to stop complaining when there&#8217;s so many people who literally the inflation rate means they may only have two meals instead of three.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There are Americans who did extremely well in the last two years in the market. You still have your job. And yeah, it&#8217;s costing you more for gas, but guess what? You&#8217;re still going to take that holiday, that Fourth of July vacation, you can still eat out, so I&#8217;m gonna need you to calm down and back off.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to argue that people complaining about their portfolios should stop complaining and use their extra money to help the people who really were in dire straits.</p>
<p>&#8220;Overall, many Americans are not suffering as much as they think they are,&#8221; she said, claiming that unrealistic fears would &#8220;think&#8221; a recession into existence.</p>
<p>But critics weren&#8217;t buying what Singletary was selling — and a number argued sarcastically that Democrats should definitely run on comments like that, which many viewed as tone deaf.</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember when WaPo wasn’t filled with deliberately blind activist clowns?&#8221; Rita Panahi <a href="https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/1539723053600370688">asked</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Faith in Americans dies in darkness,&#8221; Tim Graham <a href="https://twitter.com/TimJGraham/status/1539713648536571904">added</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is just insane rambling by an elitist journalist that is so out of touch with everyday Americans. Just eat 2 meals a day instead of 3! Don&#8217;t eat out ever or go on vacation. Also give money to other people and the government should give money to other people, not you. Wow,&#8221; @Shem_infinite <a href="https://twitter.com/Shem_Infinite/status/1539705135890300929">tweeted</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;These people are delusional,&#8221; @TexasAustyn added. &#8220;But hey &#8230; this is a GREAT campaign ad.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I suggest @TheDemocrats run with this message all the way to Election Day, especially the &#8216;calm down and back off&#8217; part. That&#8217;ll convince people,&#8221; @irishspy <a href="https://twitter.com/irishspy/status/1539708911762083840">concluded</a>.</p>
