U.S. President Joe Biden has blamed Republicans for the economic crisis facing the country.
U.S inflation is at 40-year high with soaring gas and food prices.
Biden had previously blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “tax on both food and gas” for the U.S. high inflation.
However, in a tweet on Sunday the President passed the blame to the Republicans.
“Republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas-price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, and hopefully, soon, lower your prescription drug costs. This is not right. And that’s why this election is going to be so darn important,” Biden tweeted Sunday,” Joe Biden wrote.

Joe Biden had in 2020 while running for president said he would take responsibility and not blame others. “It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president, I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others. And I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about me — it’s about you,” he tweeted on June 4th, 2020.
Biden faced criticism following the the tweet on Sunday including from a CNN contributor, Scott Jennings, who tweeted, “88% wrong track + 38% job approval = good f’ing luck with this BS.”
