Jack Dorsey Slammed for Suggesting Biden 'Chooses Deception' by Issuing Report Predicting Higher Inflation

Jack Dorsey, the founder an former CEO of Twitter, is a controversial figure regardless of party affiliation. For many on the left, he was largely insufficient at cracking down on disinformation, allowing lies—particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic—to go viral, potentially at the cost of people's lives.

For many on the right, he's the figurehead of a social media outlet that supposedly tramples on the free speech of conservatives, barring former President Donald Trump's infamous Twitter account after Trump incited a deadly failed insurrection with his election lies.


On Monday, Dorsey responded to a report from CNBC, which relayed a warning from the White House, warning that a soon-to-be-released inflation report will show consumers paid massive upticks in prices, especially on oil and gas, last month amid Russian President Vladimir Putin's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is quoted in the report, saying:

"We expect March [consumer price index] headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin’s price hike."

Sure enough, it was.

Labor Department data just released found that common consumer goods rose to their highest price levels since the 80s. The stock market saw a boost as a result of the report.

Ahead of the report's release, Dorsey weighed in on Twitter.

His tweet suggested that the Biden administration was continuing a tradition of "deception" by telling the public to expect the report to reveal higher consumer inflation rates.

People took issue with this, including MSNBC host Joy Reid.

The pair continued the exchange in the replies.






But Reid wasn't the only one who disagreed.



And Dorsey faced calls of hypocrisy for contributing to the climate he described, though people disagreed on whether he did this through too much or too little moderation.



Perhaps Dorsey should've left that one in the drafts.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
