Fox Business host Charles Payne placed the blame for spiking energy prices right at the feet of President Joe Biden's fossil fuel “war.”
Fox News anchor John Roberts called out the “inherent contradiction” of Biden begging the international oil cartel Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to pump more oil while “choking the domestic production of oil.” Roberts, during the Aug. 12 edition of America Reports, alluded to how Biden was passing the buck and suggesting rising prices are due to anti-competitive market behavior. Payne, Roberts’ guest, questioned Biden: “Are you against oil in general — you know, I think he keeps saying fossil fuels are the main reason for climate change, man-made climate change — [or] are you, are you against Americans making money from oil, providing strong jobs, national security? You know, which one is it?”
Payne continued: “[I]n the same day that [Biden] hint[s] at somehow, something nefarious going on within America’s oil complex,” Biden is saying, “‘OPEC, we need you to pump out more!’” He accused Biden of running his 2020 presidential campaign on a platform of going to “war” with fossil fuels.
