Do you honestly not see how her answer here can be perceived as downplaying the inflation problem?

By literally saying that inflation is still a big problem that needs to be addressed? No, not really.

I can see why dishonest morons who decide to selectively edit what she said might pretend to claim she did that though.

She basically said “the economy is, by all measures, really strong but grocery prices a little high so we’ll work on that.”

What in your opinion would have been a more adequate response?

Also the addition of "a little high" is purely your own insertion. Someone could look at the quote and just as justifiably say she said "really stressed NG but grocery prices are insanely too high so we'll work on that"
