As Whatley Profits From Iran War, Inflation “Soared” In March For Working Families

New CPI data reveals that inflation “soared” to 3.3% in March – the highest annual rate increase in nearly four years. Driven by the Iran war that DC insider Michael Whatley supports and has profited off of as his oil and gas stocks spike by up to $219,000, working families are paying the price. 

This comes as Roy Cooper rallied with more than 400 supporters last night to talk about making stuff cost less for North Carolina families, while Whatley was holding a “closed door” event with business executives and a fellow DC insider.

“DC insider Michael Whatley couldn’t be more out of touch with North Carolina families,” said Mallory Payne, senior communications advisor for the North Carolina Democratic Party. “Whatley has repeatedly advocated for policies that benefit his stock portfolio while prices skyrocket for working families. North Carolinians deserve a U.S. Senator who is looking out for them – not his bottom line.”
