CLAIM: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) claimed on Friday that America is at war with Russia and therefore needs to “produce energy.”
VERDICT: False. Congress has not declared war against Russia, nor has President Joe Biden engaged combat troops with Russia.
Hoyer took to the House floor, disputing the Republican claim that the Biden administration has “clamped down” on domestic energy production.
“The Biden administration approved more drilling permits in 2021 than the Trump administration approved in the first three years they were in office. I don’t know how the [Republican leader] rationalizes his comments about the Biden constricting petroleum production,” Hoyer said. The Democrat House leader then said that America is at war with Russia.
“It is unfortunate that in a time of war, that we spend all the time blaming our own president,” Hoyer said

Biden isn’t.
Did Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline?
Did Biden stop new leases offshore?
yeah.. that’s what we are talking about!
Biden is probably on the take.
America is clearer no longer a government for the people and by the people.
We’ve been taken over - decades ago.
“America is at war with Russia.”
We have always been at war with Russia.
/1984
No kidding! They blame Trump for everything!
Gonna need a national "emergency" to declare martial law and "postpone" the mid-terms. They thought they could have another Covid outbreak and bring back in the cheat-by-mail-in ballots, but they know that won't work...
Steny has the full support of our Biden Republicans.
He let the truth out that is what the Democrats and neocons want. Both are desperate to get us in a hot war with Russia.
(House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) claimed on Friday that America is at war with Russia)
OK
OF COURSE the US is at war with Russia.
Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
If we were actually at war we would need to drill until it hurts.
So now if we criticize Biden, we are insurrectionists aiding Russia. This totalitarian crap must have a reckoning or we are screwed.
It’s a time of proxy war…Darth Diversity Hire Austin declared it openly
Now THAT’s funniernhell.
Oh he is wishing upon a Death Star..
Agreed, Please read tagline. Disgusting.
We have committed plenty of ACTS of war vs Russia. I don’t think we’ve heard the end of it yet. We’ve hurt them badly and they can hurt us in ways we have never seen.
This whole thing is a stupid miscalculation and we are adding to the problem, ongoing. Meanwhile, destruction, death and refugees, all tragic. To be continued...
“We’ve been taken over - decades ago.”
Most of the end of my idealism occurred under the Clinton Administration, and I was here yammering about it. But in truth, it was way before that. They just put it all together then.
