Gaslighting queen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) served up another doozy when she promoted a propaganda video suggesting that the inflation that’s been crushing American households since President Joe Biden took office is just a lie to cover for greedy corporations.
The “Squad” leader shared a video from a far-left anti-capitalist group from New Zealand, the Aotearoa Liberation League, that fights against “the historic and ongoing harms of colonialism” with one of the kooks stating that the “propaganda” about inflation is only a myth.

“The price of everything keeps going up; meanwhile, the corporations selling those things are making massive profits. The goal of the capitalist is to disconnect these two facts from one another. So they use this concept of inflation,” said the woman in the video.
“The propaganda around inflation and cost of living is so powerful that we forget the very basic fact that corporations set the prices for their products. If a corporation raises its prices and then makes record profits, that’s not some invisible monster. It’s just a bunch of greedy shareholders,” the video shared by AOC said, a remarkably ridiculous claim that didn’t sit well with a mother of four who’s struggling to get by in the Biden era.
Amber Bergeron ripped the Democrat diva during an appearance on “Fox & Friends First” on Friday, suggesting that Ocasio-Cortez isn’t living in the reality-based world.
“I’m just wondering how she thinks it’s propaganda,” she said. “Has she checked her electric bill? Has she looked at the cost of groceries compared to last year? If you get on the Walmart app, she can take a look and see the difference. I’m wondering what her budget is that that’s not something that she’s concerned about. It’s obviously not a worry in her household. It’s not something she’s having to worry about. But I’m wondering how people can be so oblivious.”
Bergeron also shared what her life was like, a story similar to millions of Americans who are being squeezed on a daily basis by Bidenomics, a propagandistic term that puts a sunny face on the pain at the gas pump and in the aisles of grocery stores.
“Everything’s going up. Our electric bill projected for next month is around $500. Medical costs have gone up. Insurance premiums going up,” she added. “And usually if you come into an issue and you don’t have the money in your reserves, you would go and you would get a loan. For instance, if you need to repair your AC, if you need to do any vehicle repairs. But we’re actually in a situation where our truck just broke.”
“Well, if you think about it, interest rates are so high right now, it’s making the monthly notes impossible. And I know this is something that’s typical for a lot of Americans right now, having to worry about these things,” Bergeron said.
According to financial services company LendingClub, around 61 percent of Americans are now living from paycheck to paycheck, largely due to the “propaganda” of inflation.
“There’s nothing left over at the end of it,” Bergeron said. “We’re being able to make everything work. We are blessed. My husband works very hard. If it means that he’s going to put in some extra hours, he’s putting in extra hours. He’s going to do what he has to do for his family, which is what a lot of Americans are doing. But as a father of four, he can only do so much. And he’s spread thin. It’s hard.”
