The CEO of the United States Chamber of Commerce has spoken out against Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (Mass.) repeated claims that corporations are to blame for higher inflation, saying instead that inflation is primarily due to market factors.

“They’re just plain wrong,” said Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark. “We’ve had decades of low inflation. There wasn’t some magic burst of consolidation in the last month or the last quarter. That’s not what’s going on.”
