A Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota suggested that Americans should cut back on daily costs amid the economic strain caused by the U.S. military operation in Iran.
Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya acknowledged how “frustrating” and “hard” rising gas prices are for consumers during a Wednesday radio interview, but she suggested Americans should minimize some of their spending to support Trump’s actions in the Middle East.
“I think right now at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip. Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further,” she told Tennessee’s KWAM radio host Todd Starnes.

You could afford a house if you stopped drinking lattes!
It’s always a smartass reply.
Someone needs to shoot back, “I don’t drink Starbucks bitch”
Or I only drive to work, so one less trip to work?
How retarded are these people
pretty fucking
Oh so she’s made of bitch then.
Them millennials can’t afford houses because they’re blowing all their money on military operations and avocado toast
Alexa, order another air strike please.
I know you’re being facetious but it’s worth mentioning that avacado toast ingredients are $2 for multiple servings.
Yep! Not only is incredibly economical, it’s a healthier meal than most “traditional” American breakfasts.
Didn’t stop conservative media from deriding it as millennial over-indulgence. Vilifying the millennial tendency of frugality + preference for plants-based diet choices by portraying avocado toast as excessive and soy milk as emasculating, along with a concerted effort to deliver narrative to the /pol/ audience, it not only swayed the opinions of older generations, but spurred parts of the younger generations to resent each other. I’m sure meat industry profits were also in the mix somewhere.
The only winners in the culture war are the ones who drive the narratives, and it’s been that way in the US since radio was invented.
“Let them eat cake” ass reply
“stop eating cake!” Antoinette cried “my oak trees need water.”
And that time with the dolls, the time with the pencils…they keep saying it.
Imagine telling that to people who can’t even fathom being able to afford going to Starbucks.
Now gas prices aren’t a problem. Funny how that works.
Running in Minnesota and said Starbucks instead of Caribou? Already lost.
Fucking Republicans. We all need to tighten our belts further because of Trump’s pointless war against Iran!? Just like the tariffs we’re all paying for, it’s a policy failure we had no choice in. Republicans should never win another election ever again…
Couldn’t you just say the old, “I understand that war causes issues for everyone, but we should support our troops. And meanwhile I am running for congress to work to lower all costs for American families,” shtick and then do nothing as always? Like why do you have to be a condescending bitch dripping with disgust and condemnation for the poors? Gain some fucking perspective, you stuck up twat.

No, she’s not running as a Democrat.
Negative one trips to Starbucks it is!
