Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has gone on record claiming that the new White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, is right about the war causing the gas price hike in America. He then later specifies that it is Biden's “war on America’s energy industry.”
America’s gas prices have been soaring since Joe Biden has taken office. According to Forbes, the national average was $3.41 in December of 2021. However, since late February, the Putin regime has led a war against Ukraine that forced the hand of western civilizations around the world to produce sanctions against the Russian government. That naturally has increased costs. However, the Biden administration has not been keen on drilling or natural resources and crude oil on American land.
Donalds, understanding this, stated in a tweet,
.@PressSec is correct. A war is to blame for the increased gas prices. Biden's war on America's energy industry.
