Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) ripped into Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday after she tried to blame soaring inflation on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Hawley asked Granholm whether she thought the rising price of gasoline was “acceptable,” to which she said “it is not, and you can thank the activity of Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, and pulling–“
To which Hawley said “With all due respect, Madame Secretary, that’s utter nonsense,” adding “The average gas price in my state was $2.07. Eight months later, eight months later, long before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, that price was up over 30%, and it’s been going up consistently since.”
“What are you doing to reverse this administration’s policies?” Hawley asked, to which Granholm replied: “It is not the administration policies that have affected supply and demand.”
Hawley didn’t let her get away with it – shooting back: “From January to August, the price of gasoline was up 30% in my state alone. It’s been a continuous upward tick since then. And here’s what your president did when he first came to office; he immediately re-entered the Paris Climate Accord, he canceled the Keystone pipeline, he halted leasing programs in ANWAR, he issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters – that’s nationwide, that accounts by the way for 25% of US oil production, he directed federal agencies to eliminate all support for fossil fuels, he imposed new regulations on oil and gas and methane emissions.
Those were all just in the first few days! Are you telling me it’s had no effect?”
Visualizing the “utter nonsense”…

Blame Trump and Putin since Trump was a Russian spy.
Granholm is just another in a long and sordid cabal of corrupt, incompetent, self-serving bureaucratic hacks in Washington. She is utterly worthless, and actively damaging to this country.
We were stuck with this horrific woman as our Governor now she is helping to inflict misery on the entire country.
Repeat the same lie over and over and over and soon it becomes the accepted truth.
The woman is insane. Just look at her and her animated arms flailing about. Hard to believe out of 325 million people, we get people like this in charge. It’s down right scary.
Repeat the same lie over and over and over and soon it becomes the accepted truth.
Keep repeating the truth until it is accepted. We speak the truth once and think that is enough. We are wrong.
You can’t hit the girl. They’re smart on the left. They’ll hit ours, even drown them. They have an excuse-they’re girlie men.
The high gas prices are 100% the fault of Barak Biden.
If they were honest, the Democrats would say that they took all those actions in order create an urgency to move toward renewable energy. These high energy prices are deliberate and they know it. They just don't want the voters to know it.
The dirty little secret is she is actually happy prices are going up and his her job to make it go higher.
Let’s be clear. They brag about this to their rich donors at the $50K a head parties they host and to their greenie weenie friends. The Soror’s of the world come to those parties and then pat each other on the back for the destruction that has occurred.
They may not want the average Joe to know it’s intentional but the average Joe does not care why prices are high, that does not matter. Unless they cheat, the Dems are going to get slaughtered in Nov.
These people are all about escaping the truth and why they all sound insane and or totally out of touch with reality.
You wonder how these people can live with themselves every day - they know they’re lying.
They think they are saving the planet.
Frankly they’re just the water carrying crew - it’s stunning how they ‘service’ those really sending the messages. Like a bunch of housemaids.
They think they are saving the planet.

My adult daughter and I just had a conversation. All of the money in her family is going to gas and food. They don’t have money for much else.
And they are middle Income at least.
Sorry to hear that.
Families come together in time of need.
Good luck.
After watching some of Biden’s speeches, the only thing I can think of is that he needs to be taken out behind the barn until he can learn to tell the truth. Only question is how many more need to be taken with him? Direct action needs to be taken when a gov’t. official lies to the American people.
