Washington, D.C. — The one thing we know about Tim Ryan is that he follows wherever the political winds are blowing. As a 20-year career politician, Tim Ryan’s been all over the map on almost every issue.

Today’s reminder is Ryan’s flip-flop on inflation.

In late 2021, Ryan favored a larger spending bill (“Build Back Better”) compared to a slimmed down plan favored by moderate Democratic Senators. He said that Democrats should not downplay the extent of inflation and instead, emphasize “Build Back Better” as a way to address it.

But, in early 2022, once it was clear that legislation would fail and he had heard an unbelievable amount of anxiety about the economy, Ryan blamed Biden for trying to pass a “wish list.” Yes, the same spending spree wish list that he voted for last year in the House.

Two-Faced Tim advocated for a large, liberal wish list in the House and claimed it would address inflation because that’s what his party bosses told him to do. But when he learned that wasn’t politically smart of him while running for Senate, he quickly flip-flopped like always.
