Karine Jean Pierre Has VERY Tough Time Understanding Question On How Biden Has Enriched Iran
Reporter Confronts KJP on the Impact of Rising Oil Prices That Gives Iran Enough Money to Fund Terrorist Groups
As Americans face rising gas prices with the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, the issue of energy policy has once again come under scrutiny.
During a press briefing, Deputy White House Press Secretary Karen Jean-Pierre seemed reluctant to address a question on whether the Admin’s energy policy could be inadvertently funding Iran-backed terror groups.
A reporter pointed out that under President Trump, the average price of oil was $58 per barrel, while it has risen to $83 per barrel under Biden regime.
“[Under President Trump] the average price of…oil was $58. Under this President it’s $83/barrel. So the price of oil is more. Is that giving Iran enough money to fund these terror groups?” reporter asked.
Karen Jean-Pierre’s response was lackluster and evasive, to say the least. “I wholeheartedly disagree that…our actions is giving…Can you say that again?”
“When you restrict supply here in the U.S. it’s forcing to get the global supply from somewhere else…Price of oil goes up…As the price of oil goes up, is that giving Iran enough money to fund these terror groups?” the reporter responded.
Jean-Pierre deflected and characterized the query as a “hypothetical.” “It seems to be a big jump…I’m just not gonna weigh into a hypothetical here,” she said.
the Biden Admin released a record-breaking 180 million barrels this year from the SPR. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the SPR held about 638 million barrels of oil when Biden took office in January 2021. It has dropped to its lowest level since October 1983 today, at 362 million barrels. Recall, Joe Biden wanted to fill the Strategic Reserves with $80 per barrel oil. Just three years ago the Democrats blocked President Trump from filling the Strategic Oil Reserves at $24 per barrel.
