Cindy Axne, the lone vulnerable congressional&nbsp;Democrat from Iowa, reversed course on inflation Thursday, calling for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to&nbsp;pass legislation addressing the ongoing supply chain problem, which has caused a massive spike in inflation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-32\" lang=\"x-size-32\">Axne joined a group of vulnerable Democrats in a letter <a href=\"https:\/\/email.punchbowl.news\/t\/ViewEmail\/t\/35E191E081B0C9372540EF23F30FEDED\/085F4E12A420C62D5281BC0AA5ABFD98?alternativeLink=False\">calling<\/a> for the Democrat party leaders in the House to address the&nbsp;ongoing supply chain crisis and&nbsp;spike in inflation by&nbsp;quickly passing legislation. The&nbsp;vulnerable House Democrats wrote that they are \u201cconcerned about the ongoing disruptions to our nation\u2019s supply chain, which are causing delays and increasing inflation for our constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"size-32\" lang=\"x-size-32\">Axne, before trying to appear as a champion on the supply chain crisis, has for months argued that inflation is a \u201cfalse advertisement\u201d:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"size-32\">In June, when asked if&nbsp;Republicans were wise to warn about inflation if the federal government continued to spend during a live television appearance, Axne <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2021\/jul\/01\/cindy-axne\/rising-inflation-fears-are-real-complex\/\">said<\/a>, \u201cwe\u2019re not even remotely close to a point to say that we\u2019re at rising inflation, so no, I wouldn\u2019t agree with that.\u201d<\/li>\n<li class=\"size-32\">In July, during a town hall, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/video-house-democrat-dismissing-inflation\">claimed<\/a> the \u201ceconomy is on a great track\u201d and talking about inflation is bringing up \u201cfalse advertisements.\u201d<\/li>\n<li class=\"size-32\">In September, Axne then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonvalleyradio.com\/2021\/09\/26\/local-lawmaker-says-inflation-should-get-better-2\/\">claimed<\/a> that \u201cthings will get better day by day\u201d when referring to the rise in gas and food prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"size-32\" lang=\"x-size-32\">While this was happening, Axne voted for the&nbsp;American Rescue Plan in February, which&nbsp;former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/10\/18\/business\/economy\/fed-inflation-stimulus-biden.html\">said<\/a> was \u201cpoorly targeted and risked overheating the economy,\u201d in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/10\/18\/business\/economy\/fed-inflation-stimulus-biden.html\">research<\/a> from the&nbsp;Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that indicated that passage of the bill played a roll in the rise in prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-32\" lang=\"x-size-32\">The letter Axne signed onto argued that&nbsp;Congress should act to help families across the country seeing higher prices and touted their passage of the disastrous&nbsp;$1.2 trillion infrastructure bill \u2014 which President Biden signed into law \u2014 and the&nbsp;$1.75 trillion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/19\/house-passes-behemoth-build-back-better-act\/\">Build Back Better Act<\/a>, also known as the Democrats\u2019 reconciliation infrastructure bill.
