CNN commentator: Harris' price control plan will create 'bread lines' and revitalize 'The Walking Dead' economy

CNN commentator Scott Jennings said Friday that Vice President Harris' price control proposal would lead to massive food shortages.

“If you like bread lines, produce shortages, black markets and panic buying, if you want to recreate the happy economic conditions of 'The Walking Dead,'” Jennings said Friday, “then Harris has a plan for you.”

The Harris campaign announced on Wednesday that as president she would introduce a “nationwide ban on price gouging on food and groceries” to prevent “big corporations” from taking advantage of consumers. On Friday, Harris spoke in Raleigh, North Carolina, about her economic vision for the country.

“There is no price gouging,” he said. “Grocery stores and things like that operate on very thin margins. There is no price gouging. There is only inflation,” the Republican strategist said.

Jennings said the plan came from a party that “has no private sector experience whatsoever and has no interest whatsoever in taking responsibility for all that it has done to plunge the working class of the United States into economic crisis.”

The commentator also responded to Harris' comments on high food prices and other economic difficulties.

“The first thing I saw was a scathing indictment of the state of the country,” Jennings said. “She laid out very effectively how hard the policies of the Biden-Harris agenda have hit the American people. I mean, inflation is the number one issue. The food prices, the cost of housing, the housing shortage, all of that is absolutely true.”

“And she and Joe Biden are in charge, and she directly cast her votes that led to these conditions,” Jennings said. “I don't know how she plans to distance herself from Joe Biden on this issue, because she has a direct hand in everything she talked about today.”

Harris promised during her speech in North Carolina on Friday that she would “address the high costs that matter most to most Americans.”

“Like food prices. We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when supply chains were shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved and prices are still too high,” Harris said.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
