White House Top Economic Advisor Says Californians Hurting Due to War in Iran Are “The Last of Our Concerns.” Does Jim Desmond Agree?

As Southern Californians see rising costs, higher gas prices, and uncertainty over their retirement and savings accounts due to the war in Iran, the White House chief economic advisor Kevin Hassett made a stunning admission that hurting consumers is “the last of our concerns.”

After saying the higher gas prices Californians are feeling at the pump are “no pain, no gain,” Jim Desmond must answer: do you agree that the Iran War’s impact on the US economy is “the last of our concerns”?

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Jim Desmond’s message to Southern California families struggling with rising costs: don’t care, deal with it.”
