The clip, shared on Friday, gathers moments from May to December 2021 where President Biden, Vice President Harris, Press Secretary Psaki, and Treasury Secretary Yellen downplayed rising costs, often citing Federal Reserve views. Inflation climbed from 1.4 percent when Biden took office to a 40-year peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022, fueled by supply chain issues, strong demand, energy shocks, and stimulus spending. While some blame administration policies like the American Rescue Plan, others note global pressures, with prices now steady near the Fed's 2 percent target by late 2025 after rate hikes brought it down from the peak.

Gunmen killed dozens, possibly over 100, in Woro and Nuku villages on February 4, razing homes and looting amid a wave of violence across Nigerian states.
