FOX- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday dismissed the White House blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for record peak gas prices as “laugh-out-loud revisionist history.”
“Democrats’ reckless spending that’s fueled across-the-board inflation have made Americans’ pain at the pump even worse. But in the last few days, the Biden administration has tried to invent some laugh-out-loud – laugh-out-loud revisionist history,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor.
“They’re trying to rebrand the entire increase in gas prices on their watch – listen to this – as an effect of Putin’s recent invasion of Ukraine. So, they want to blame 14 months of gas price increases on the last two weeks of turmoil. Washington Democrats’ war on domestic energy long predates Putin’s war on Ukraine.”
