Democrats Give Up On Americans
They should be ashamed of themselves.
In a shocking turn of events, White House Senior Adviser and Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator Mitch Landrieu attempted to justify the extremely high gas prices by saying President Biden has everything possible lower gas prices even using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve but it didn’t work.
Seems like the Democrats have just given up.
In transcript provided by Breitbart, Landrieu explained, “[T]he president has already enacted a massive piece of legislation called the Infrastructure Act, which is designed to actually help rebuild the supply chains and to fix the rails and to fix the roads and to fix the air and to fix the water. On top of that, he released product from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to bring down gas prices. And then, yes, he is, in fact, calling on Congress to pass legislation that is going to help make it –.”
CNN’s Victor Blackwell interrupted and said, “But they certainly didn’t bring down gas prices.”
Landrieu replied, “But, Victor, you know the president himself doesn’t control the price of gas. You asked whether or not there was anything that was in his power that he can do. And he’s done everything within his power, including –.”
Blackwell interrupted again and said, “Certainly, he does not control the price of gas, but the president said that releasing from the Strategic Reserve would bring down the price of gas, and all we’ve seen since then was a series of record highs.”
Landrieu attempted to save Biden and said, “Well, it’s clearly not the only factor in bringing down gas. But you asked what it is that he could do and he did what he could do. He also is asking Congress to reduce the costs on American citizens for child care, for prescription drugs, for insulin, to make sure that we have credits so that we can manufacture things.”
