"Democratic President Joe Biden made some remarks on Thursday that it was totally fair for Americans to expect to pay the ridiculously high gas prices we’re shelling out big bucks for right now as “long as it takes” for Russia to be beaten by [redacted], despite the fact our gas prices were going up well before the invasion started.
"This isn’t about Russia. It isn’t about [redacted]. It’s about our dependence on foreign oil. If he really wanted to lower gas prices, he could do it by drilling and handing out permits to increase oil production. Open up the Keystone XL Pipeline, which he closed on his very first day in office.
"Gas prices are not something that is deeply connected to what’s happening right now in Europe. It has more to do with the Green New Deal and socialistic wealth redistribution than anything else.". . .
"KAYLEIGH MCENANY: You never want to go viral when you're in the White House, particularly if you're someone very few people know, someone named Brian Deese, who's the economic adviser in the White House. Well, he went viral. . . .
"So you're paying more in gas because it's the future of the liberal world order. Okay. He again said what we have heard a few times. We've heard, oh, Joe Biden can't do anything about gas prices. But in their most honest moments, we've heard honesty from the president that when it comes to gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition, an incredible transition as you're pumping your gas at $5 a gallon. Jennifer Granholm said that we're accelerating the move to clean energy. So in their most lucid moments, they are admitting that when you pump your gas, when you see, as I did, you know, 100 something dollars, that's intentional. They want you to get rid of your car. They want you to move to a clean energy vehicle. It's all part of the great liberal transition. So just pat yourself on the back this 4th of July.". . .
