It’s time to roll up your sleeves, America — but not the kind you’d put on a to-go coffee cup.
Michele Tafoya, a former NBC football reporter who is running to be Minnesota’s Republican Senate candidate, suggested that Americans who are feeling the economic strain of President Donald Trump’s war in Iran should simply forgo their frappuccinos.
“Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks, and so that gas goes a little further, until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again,” Tafoya said on “The Todd Starnes Radio Show” Wednesday.
What makes Tafoya’s stale avocado toast of a tip even more egregious was the patriotic guilt trip she laid out to make her argument.
Tafoya began by acknowledging that rising gas prices due to the war are “hard,” but also implied that in order to be a good little American, you need to stop your whining and just suck it up.
