<p>MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle was slammed on Sunday after she claimed that it was a &#8220;dirty little secret&#8221; that people &#8220;have the money&#8221; to offset skyrocketing inflation rates because, according to her, people have been saving money and the stock market is good.</p>
<p>&#8220;The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average we have the money to do so. Household savings hit a record high over the pandemic,&#8221; Ruhle said, later adding, &#8220;While the stock market isn&#8217;t the economy, you have over half of American households with some investment in the markets and the markets have hit record highs.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Inflation airhead: NBC&#39;s Stephanie Ruhle says the &quot;dirty little secret&quot; of people complaining about paying higher prices for food and fuel for their homes is they can afford it just fine.

<p>Notable responses to Ruhle&#8217;s remarks included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Donald Trump Jr.</strong>: &#8220;Remember folks, this is what they think of you. They can destroy our economy and you’ll all be just fine.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Ashe Short</strong>, The Daily Wire: &#8220;Yes, you should have been saving while you didn’t have a job because people like Ruhle totally supported laying people off.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Batya Ungar-Sargon</strong>, Newsweek: &#8220;The &#8216;dirty little secret&#8217; is not that Americans saved last year because they didn&#8217;t go out to restaurants and their homes increased in value. The dirty little secret is that American journalism is produced by &amp; for people who go to expensive restaurants and own expensive homes.&#8221; She continued, &#8220;There is a huge class chasm in America. On one side are Americans lying awake at night worrying about inflation and how they&#8217;ll afford Thanksgiving &amp; Christmas. But the people charged with telling the American story, with telling politicians what matters, are on the other side.&#8221; She added, &#8220;The depressing and deplorable coverage (or non coverage!) of inflation is such an indictment of our media as a class. So many American journalists just don&#8217;t know anyone who is feeling the difference in the price of milk or gas, let alone feeling it themselves.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Kellyanne Conway</strong>: &#8220;SISTER PLEASE! Millions of Americans CANNOT afford these surges at the gas pump and grocery store. Read the NBC polls! Folks are worried, disapprove of Biden/Harris.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jason Beisel</strong>, public information officer: &#8220;Rich network anchor preaches at peasants on how they should’ve saved for the inflation that is ahead. Give me a break.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Chad Gilmartin</strong>, communications for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy: &#8220;First you were told it’s &#8216;transitory&#8217; now you’re being told to stop complaining and just pay more for everything.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jesse Hunt</strong>, The Republican Governors Association: &#8220;My god, middle class families rely on the market for retirement savings… Not to buy milk and chicken for their family of 4 or buy gasoline to get to work and sports practices.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jon Najarian</strong>, investor: &#8220;With rising inflation &amp; greater valuations for assets that generate wealth, the gap between the most and least well-off Americans is widening. Lower-income households have less flexibility in how they spend, thus the &#8216;dirty little secret&#8217; is that inflation hurts them more.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Steve Guest</strong>, communications for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): &#8220;Stephanie Ruhle is NBC&#8217;s Marie Antoinette.&#8221;</li>
