On 3/8/2022, Joe Biden traveled to Forth Worth, Texas to visit the VA. Reporters were shouting questions at Joe Biden upon his arrival to Fort Worth, “what can you do about skyrocketing gas prices?” a reporter shouted. “They’re gonna go up! Can’t do much right now. Russia’s responsible,” Biden replied. Biden blamed Russia for soaring gas prices and used this crisis as an opportunity to sell his green agenda, “should motivate us to accelerate a transition to clean energy,” said Biden.
Joe Biden’s National Economic Council Director Brian Deese on Tuesday said only way through this oil crisis created by Biden is to reduce our fossil fuel use to zero. “The only viable path to energy independence for the American economy is to reduce the energy intensity of our economy overall and ultimately to reduce it to zero and get us in a position to where we are no longer reliant on fossil fuels,” Deese said.

When Asked About Plans To Lower Gas Prices, Dem Rep Hakeem Jeffries Says “That Issue Hasn’t Come Up”.
If you ask Democrats about this today, most of them will defend Joe Biden and say that the president can’t do much about gas prices. Flashback 2018, top Senate Democrats had local thoroughfare to “Demand Lower Gas Prices.” Speaking outside an Exxon near the Capitol, Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, the top Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, called on President Trump to act and sent a pair of letters to the White House demanding the administration lean on OPEC nations to ramp up oil production. Cantwell was joined by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey. Democrats – generally seen as opposed to more fossil fuel production due to its impact on climate change – calling for more oil development did not escape notice, “We are calling on President Trump to act,” Cantwell said. “We do not want to see the price of oil get more expensive as we go into the summer driving season.”
Prices gonna go up! Can’t do much, Russia’s responsible. Flashback Trump. Reduce fossil fuels to zero.
