Florida Governor Ron DeSantis blasted Joe Biden for his massive hypocrisy on energy after his recent visit to Saudi Arabia were he tried and failed to come to a favorable deal with that nation’s leader on increasing oil production.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis slammed President Joe Biden during a press conference this week over the high energy prices that are hurting American families.
DeSantis’ remarks came after Biden visited Saudi Arabia last week, and failed to secure a commitment from them to produce more oil to help lower prices in the U.S. Biden and his party appear poised to get shellacked in the upcoming midterms due to the shape of the economy and high inflation rates.
"How come it's wrong to produce our own oil and gas here, but you can go to Saudi Arabia and fist-bump to try to get it from Saudi? I mean, it makes no sense… We have the opportunities here to be energy independent." – @GovRonDeSantis today pic.twitter.com/lCeemGPGDt

“How come it’s wrong to produce our own oil and gas here, but you can go to Saudi Arabia and fist bump to try to get it from Saudi?” DeSantis asked during Monday’s press conference. “I mean, it makes no sense that we wouldn’t do it. We have opportunities here to be energy independent and not have to worry about any of these other countries. And yet they’re intentionally not doing it and you can’t run a modern economy on windmills. You just can’t do it.”
“And so now we’re in a situation where they’re bragging that gas has gone down over the last however many weeks, it’s still over four bucks! Like I had never seen it over $4 in my whole life living here,” DeSantis continued. “It’s just when you’re cranking the printing presses, you’re making energy more expensive. You know, that creates an upward pressure on all of this stuff. And so the acceleration from May to June that we saw at the end of June, not only was — they said it wouldn’t happen, then they said it was a blip, and they said it would peak soon. It still didn’t peak even after that. And so that’s really making it difficult for a lot of people, you know, to make ends meet.
Biden has consistently tried to blame shift since the start of the inflation crisis, in recent months insisting that it was largely due to the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
JOE BIDEN IS THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND. JOE YOU GO FISTBUMP ALL THE CAMEL JOCKEYS YOU WANT WHILE WE SUFFER . YOU GOT LESS THAN 4 MONTHS THEN YOUR HISTORY. IMPEACHMENT IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!
I agree with you 100%…however, i I also do not want Kamala
Biden doesn’t know JACK!!! He is responsible for us being in this mess due to his decisions!!!
Hurry mid terms!!!!
The answer to your question, Governor DeSantis, is quite simple. Saudi oil burns far cleaner than American oil.
Baloney…what a biased comment from a shill…we can refine our oil just as clean as they can….mindless comment
we can only hope his comment was sarcasm.
Actually, American oil is lighter, sweeter , and easier to refine. Combined they make it the cleanest burning.
They brought it down a few cents with phony band aids. Using out Naval reserves for political purpose…just to make it appear that the price has come down. Total sham. It is criminal for the President to use reserves that are for national defense…just to try to make himself look better. Shameful
Even though Joe’s cognitive state is impaired, this whole thing, open borders, botched Afghanistan withdrawal, messing with American oil producers, is all intentional. We don’t need an impeachment, we need a trial for TREASON. A nation can’t print itself out of debt. If we don’t gain control in November it’s likely that we’ll be done. VOTE
Bidens a dumbass
And how much to Saudis pay for their fuel in comparison with the USA? That is what you get when you have an abundance of production. Something the Democrats have shut down as far as they can.
