#shorts On 1/3/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “so the — the President took credit when gas prices were coming down. Now the barrels leaving the Strategic Petroleum Reserve — well, that’s ending. The President has not changed anything with energy policy. Is the President’s policies then to take credit for the gas prices rising over the past seven days?”

KJP: So, look, I — I want to make note here because this is important: We’ve made significant progress in lowering the prices — gas prices, specifically. Prices are down nearly $2.00 per gallon and are lower today than they were one year ago today — this very day. So, we’ve seen a slight increase, yes, over the past week, due to cold weather that shut down some refineries …

Reporter: So, then once these refineries come back online, do you expect the gas prices to come back down? And the price of gas when the President came into office was $2.39 a gallon.

KJP: I know, but I’m talking about one year ago. And that was — one year ago was not when he came into office, right?
