A Louisiana mother of four fired back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday after the congresswoman shared a tone-deaf that referred to inflation as “propaganda.”
“I’m just wondering how she thinks it’s propaganda,” Amber Bergeron said during an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends First.’
“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.”

Can AOC really be this stupid? Does she really think the inflationary prices we are seeing simply comes from companies raising their prices for no reason? Greed?
AOC promotes message calling inflation corporate 'propaganda' to hide 'greedy shareholders'

This week, Ocasio-Cortez shared a video on her Instagram page by the Aotearoa Liberation League, a leftist activist group in New Zealand that claims to be fighting “the historic and ongoing harms of colonialism.” A statement from the organization reported by Fox News Digital explains that their mission is to “liberate humans from the industry-driven food myths that compel us to harm our bodies, our whenua, and millions of nonhuman animals.”
The video shared by Ocasio-Cortez described inflation as a “propaganda” term used by “greedy shareholders” trying to dodge responsibility for high prices.
“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.
And 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,”

“I’m wondering how people can be so oblivious,” Bergeron said in response to the Democrat congresswoman’s post.
During the interview, the Louisiana mom also criticized “Bidenomics,” saying that her cost of living has skyrocketed in recent years. She described her family’s situation as “not too good.”
“Everything’s going up. Our electric bill projected for next month is around $500. Medical costs have gone up. Insurance premiums going up. 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.”
As inflation continues to rise month after month, a new report finds that over half of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. According to a survey of 3,443 consumers by the digital marketplace LendingClub, 61 percent of Americans struggled to make ends meet.
Bergeron described the struggle as “typical for a lot of Americans right now.”
“There’s nothing left over at the end of it,” she said.
