WATCH: Senator Barrasso Torches Democrats For Trying To Deflect Blame For Fuel Cost, Inflation
Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) slammed President Joe Biden and Democrats on Sunday for trying to deflect blame over rising gas prices and skyrocketing inflation.
Barrasso made the remarks during an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos, firing back when Stephanopoulos brought up the fact that Democrats are trying to pin blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Well, Joe Biden can’t hide from the fact that he is the president of high gas prices,” Barrasso said. “And they’re looking for anyone to blame, whether it’s Putin, whether it’s Republicans, whether it’s the energy companies, whether it’s COVID.”
“The Democrats have a very big problem with 40-year high inflation, highest gas prices ever,” he continued. “When Joe Biden came into office, it was $2.38 a gallon for gasoline. Americans paid $1,000 more for energy last year than the year before. And on polling last week, 70 percent of Americans say more American oil and gas and less emphasis on climate.”
