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

Did the Ministry of Disinformation fact check this?
We’ve helped them and we’ve hurt them over the years. Overall though I’d say we’re natural allys. We both fight terrorism, but their way is different from our way. It’s nasty business no matter which way it’s done, but we’re ultimately on the same side of the war day I hope we can be friends, as Trump hoped and got impeached for his efforts. We’re even, I would say. Good luck to Ukraine, good luck to Russia. Not one penny of my tax dollars to either.
I’m not trying to defend this scumbag but if he said, in a time of war, that does not necessarily mean we are at war.
Since when do we quit criticizing a president because other countries are at war?
Your comment is ridiculous.
Breitbart is being disingenuous. We are in a de facto at war with Russia. We give them billions in weapons, targeting information and now lend-lease.
Hoyer should have just been honest, but he cannot because he is a member of the demon party of lies. RINO uniparty bois included.
Say it Hoyer. Proxy war we started, proxy war. Don’t say mean things about Biden during our proxy war with Russia that Russia already knows is a proxy war and has been from start while we keep pretending for the stupid US sheep that it isn’t a proxy war we started because it makes us look bad like we are because lying isn’t official.
See Steny, the truth makes sense out of your request.
Since nations are ALWAYS at war somewhere, Slimy Hoyer is insinuating that the president can NEVER be criticized.
Unless it's a Republican president.
It’s well past time for a lot of these ancient geezers to retire.
What? I thought Congress had an emergency session and declared war on Russia. We just didn’t hear about it because no one was allowed to read the legislation before the vote.
If MSM doesn’t report it, it never happened. So, too bad. Now ya know. LOL
He was just following our President’s statement to the troops that some had already seen the war in Ukraine. See, these guys know all that secret stuff, and sometimes they just let it slip. ;-)
I expect Biden to address a joint session of Congress with the speech, “This is a date that will live in infamy.”
The public is now the servant of the public servants.
Lindsey Graham just said today , if “we” win the war , Russia will have been severely weakened.
Hoyer belongs in a nursing home.
Yeah, hot.
Like, 100,000,000 degrees hot.
So sorry but there are US military members on the ground in Ukraine.
That's what she said!
Just more proof that AGE MATTERS...and it is time for this old person to step aside.
