Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro attacked Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan by calling her a "comrade" — and saying the proposal would make Soviet dictator Josef Stalin "smile."The Democratic nominee for president laid out proposals Friday to cut taxes for most Americans, ban "price gouging" at grocery stores and build more affordable housing. Her proposal earned cheers from economic justice advocates, as costs have ballooned by 26 percent in the last five years.But her proposals came much to the chagrin of Fox News' "The Five," however, with Pirro opening the show blasting Harris as "Kamala the comrade.""Vice President Harris rolling out an economic plan that would make Stalin smile," she said, "by pushing price controls and masking it as a corporate price-gouging ban. But we've seen this movie before and it always ends in disaster. Just ask the Soviet Union. Price controls led to the massive shortage of food and essentials."ALSO READ: Donald Trump deep in debt while foreign money keeps coming: disclosurePirro added that if her price-gouging ban doesn't "satisfy her communist cravings," she's also proposing a $25,000 first-time home-buyer credit — "A.K.A. your hard-earned money."The firebrand Fox News host, known for controversial takes, pointed to an opinion piece in The Washington Post from columnist Catherine Rampell, who wrote Thursday: "It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.""It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food," she argued. "Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk."She also pointed to a CNN clip in which host Abby Philip questioned whether the plan is a "ploy."Pirro said she believes it's a "socialist attempt to put a cap or reduce prices, when in the end it really is about supply-and-demand and it's never worked in history."Watch the clip below or at this link.
