“Food price inflation, which is about the rate of growth in prices, has actually already fallen sharply. It’s only about 1.5 percent,” she continued angrily.

The journalist accused Trump of lying “throughout the campaign” before taking a swipe at his most vocal supporters.

“Everyone who supported him and was a stand-in for him also lied about doing this, so I’m glad he finally admitted it,” she explained.

Jennings responded that he believes Trump can lower energy prices, which could ease some of the price pressure.

The panel’s guest, former South Carolina state Rep. Bakari Sellers, weighed in, and while he acknowledged Jennings’ points, he also accused the political strategist of being “inaccurate.”

As Sellers continued his point, he patted Jennins on the shoulder.

Jennings was unhappy with his guest’s comments and raged, “Don’t touch me,” while Sellers awkwardly tried to laugh off the situation.

Despite Jennings’ warning, the guest playfully rubbed his back again and, giggling, Sellers asked, “I’m not allowed to touch you now?”

Jennings, looking visibly angry, remained silent with his arms crossed while Phillips tried to defuse the situation by telling Sellars, “Keep your hands to yourself.”
