Dem Congresswoman Says It's 'Un-American' to Blame Biden for Gas Prices

Democrat Representative Kim Schrier of (WA) had some words for Americans upset with President Biden over the rising cost of gas this week, saying in a podcast interview that criticizing Biden — or anyone other than Putin — for the recent record-setting highs for a gallon of gas is "un-American." How fun.

When asked about the growing energy and inflation crises in the United States, Schrier said matter-of-factly "I believe a couple things — right now, in the last two weeks — this is Putin. You should be blaming Putin if anybody for this," Schrier said of all-time highs for a gallon of gas across the country."

"To not blame Putin," Schrier continued, "first of all is denying reality, and second, frankly, I think is un-American."

Schrier's claims require Americans to believe that all-time high gas prices that have smashed through decades of records have absolutely nothing to do with what President Biden and Democrats have done to American energy. Nor are they to read anything into the fact that Biden has, repeatedly, gone begging to oil-rich nations of the world to ask for more supply and either been flatly rejected or had his calls entirely ignored.

To voice an opinion that branDUHn is somehow responsible is like saying "I support the Russina invasion of the breakaway state of Ukraine.". Or something. You domestic terrorist you! Talk about not living in reality kimee.

It is unAmerican to be a Democrat.

[Republican in occupied CA]

From the same people that wanted GWB’s scalp when gas went to a much higher (adjusted for inflation) amount.

I wonder if being that stupid hurts?

Correction. It’s “Un-American” for him to be in the WH. Voter, ballot and election fraud is Un-American.

[rktman]

Well, it sure as hell’s hurting me. Like an ice cream headache.

[nopardons]

BTTT

[Sequoyah101]

Of course that should be DIM congresswoeman.

[fwdude]

They’ve been calling us normal Americans “unamerican” for quite some time. It’s kind of lost its punch.

[EEGator]

I bet it’s blissful.

[budj]

I’d sure like to hear the explanation for how it was that Putin raised the prices before February, ‘22.

[Sequoyah101]

UnGodly as well but who cares anymore?

[dfwgator]

They want to criminalize all dissent.

[lee martell]

Since when did the majority of Dems care about being
American? I thought that was the last thing they’d be wanting to do.

[Fido969]

These people have gone full fascist.

[SecondAmendment]

> I wonder if being that stupid hurts?

Immensely, but the problem is we are the ones that feel it.

[dfwgator]

So let’s protest Putin by acting like Putin.

[rktman]

You’re one to talk you ‘racis’’ you. LOL! THAT kind of ‘lost it’s punch’ claim? These assclowns are getting very tiresome. Any bets she’ll be back in d.c. after the (s)elections in Nov?

[cuban leaf]

I dunno. Biden reduced supply. Free markets are driven by supply and demand.

[kiryandil]

Won in 2018.

Most likely a rigged "election", which is totally un-American.

Yep:

2018 Democratic gain.

Kim Schrier (Democratic) 52.4%
Dino Rossi (Republican)  47.6%

That close in Washington state, it's rigged.
