'That's not what I hear': James Comer flees when confronted on Trump's words on economy
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) played ignorant when Meidas Touch reporter Pablo Manríquez confronted him about President Donald Trump's new comments dismissing the rising cost-of-living crisis.
The remark came after reporters asked him about the latest monthly inflation numbers. "The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon," said the president. "I don't think about Americans' financial situation."
"What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation?" Manríquez asked Comer, a staunch Trump ally.
"I don’t know that he said that," said Comer.
"He did," Manríquez pressed him.
"That’s not what I hear," Comer insisted. "Every time I talk to him, he’s focused on affordability."
"What about gas prices?" asked Manríquez, at which point Comer retreated and stopped answering questions.
