Looney & Duff to Senate MAGA Caucus: Do You Love the Inflation Too?

“Donald Trump just told the American people, out loud, that he loves the inflation that is crushing them. Gas is up 23.5% year over year. Groceries are up. Electricity is up. Clothing is up. This is what happens when you start a war nobody wanted, impose tariffs a court had to throw out, and then brag about it. Connecticut families are not loving any of this.

“We’d like to know if Senate Republican Leader Stephen Harding, Senator Fazio, and the rest of the Senate MAGA caucus love the inflation too. They voted against a Democratic budget that cut costs for Connecticut families. They’ve stayed silent while the Trump regime has made everything more expensive. Now their president has given them a slogan. Do they stand with him, or do they stand with the people they represent?”

-Senate President Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk), in response to President Trump’s comments that he “loves the inflation” as inflation surpassed 4% for the first time in three years.
