Katie Porter reportedly gave 'an emotional speech' about how inflation has hurt her family during a private House Democratic Caucus meeting, recounting how she took the bacon out of her grocery cart when saw the price had jumped to $9.99 pound.
The California Democrat and self-described “minivan-driving single mom” revealed in a Politico interview published Wednesday that she had to take the bacon out of her grocery cart during a recent shopping trip when saw the price had jumped to $9.99 a pound. And this is the kind of reality check she said that many in Congress recognize “too late.”
Porter doubled down on these remarks in a Twitter thread on Wednesday, writing that “people, myself included, are shopping differently, putting back $6.29 boxes of cereal and spending considerable time looking for sandwich bread for under $5.” Porter’s Politico interview and Twitter thread certainly seemed to strike a chord with readers, as her name trended on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon with more than 16,000 tweets.
These comments came the same day that latest Consumer Price Index report found food prices jumped almost 1% last month, and grocery prices have spiked 10.8% in the past year, marking the biggest surge since 1981.
