‘Flat-out lie’: Biden cops backlash for solely blaming Putin for rise in gas prices

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has accused Joe Biden of telling a “flat-out lie” after the president blamed Vladimir Putin for the rising price of gas despite the fact they were surging long before Russia invaded Ukraine.

The gas prices were going up in the US long before this conflict. It started on day one of his administration 🙄.

[robindelude]

Stop the damned lying, Jen! This nightmare is ALL on Joetato!

[OzVeteran]

Of course it's a lie. Fuel prices were rising months before.

[kcook]

Sad part is their are many people in the US that are stupid enough to believe everything he says.

biden's first speech he said Im shutting down all oil extraction on federal land, shut down the Keystone. Again his first speech, I'm paying farmers to leave farmland fallow, so he's wilfully increased the price of food worldwide.

Gas went up 30 cents Joes first week, not surprising seeing as his first action as President on his very first day was to close the pipeline. Within a week he increased drilling royalties 7 percent. He then reduced the amount of drilling permits. He did this and he did it on purpose.

[bloodysweetzombiegirl]

It went up 20 cents overnight from being just under $2 when he took office and it’s been climbing ever since.

The day this person admits he’s responsible for something it won’t be him that did it. He’ll only say he did something good but that won’t happen through him.

[ellie]

He couldn’t blame Trump for it so now he’s found a new person to blame…all while ignoring his responsibility for anything.

[richardsage]

A Democrat will never admit they screwed up. They will tell more lies

[frankhagerman]

The Keystone pipeline employee, at the end, sums up the facts very nicely, but will be ignored by the current administration.

Well, somebody is making a lot of money, & it ain’t us. Same with food, utilities, cost of living, etc. That’s the name of the game under this administration. That’s why they’re always smiling. 😊They smile; we suffer.

[joeygay]

Like he cares since our tax dollars pay for his gas. It makes it more insulting when he smirks or laughs about issues like this. Same with the smug dbag Psaki

[jmcmahon]

125% price increase in one month for oil fuel, my bill went from $400 to $900 USD.. per month for heating to keep my family and water warm. The divide between middle class and upper class continues to grow

[Lifeletnothingholdudown]

We all knew he was going to blame Putin.

[adamvoshell]

And they said trump was colluding with russia lol.

[metatron]

“the killing of civilians “ is war crimes, don’t the Americans call it
“collateral damage “, I have heard that phrase every time America
invaded a country

[carolbutler]

Mr. Biden is completely, 100 percent, and totally responsible for the price pf gas and all energy in the USA.

[warthogA]

How is it, that people hold high paying positions in the government, yet never have any information, when they know ahead of time they're going into a public meeting/hearing?🤔
Why can't I get a job like this... where absolute incompetence brings endless rewards and raises?
I wouldn't trust any of these people to manage a free water stand.

[timminh]

He says "And it will continue to go up" with a smirk on his face and confidencely said it as if he's a millionaire.
