Democratic PA senatorial candidate and lieutenant governor John Fetterman called for prosecuting executives of oil and food companies in a Sunday guest column for local media outlet Times Leader.
Fetterman blamed executives of large oil and food companies for the high prices that Americans are experiencing at gas stations and grocery stores across the country, stating that he would “crack down” on CEOs to bring down costs, according to the opinion column.
The senatorial candidate juxtaposed the record profits of companies like Chevron, Exxon and Tyson, a large food company, with the high prices of gas and basic necessities.
In the column, Fetterman promised to go after corporate greed by “prosecuting the executives of these huge corporations, including the big oil companies and meatpacking companies who are artificially driving up prices, gouging consumers at the pump and at the grocery store.”
“It’s gross, and deeply unpatriotic, for the big corporations to be rolling around in cash while charging us record high prices for gas and groceries,” he wrote.
“The reality is that the market forces of supply and demand control oil prices, which then affect gas prices for consumers,” Mark Perry, a senior fellow at AEI and a professor emeritus of economics at the University of Michigan, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“If oil and gas companies were really in control of gas prices and gouging consumers, why would they have let gas prices fall by $1.19 per gallon over the last few months, from an average of $5.02 in early June to $3.83 today?”

“That’s the ticket”/s
The solution to every problem for Democrats is more prosecutions...
A new level of stupid, but will voters be delusional enough to vote for this?
The DemonRAT party is truly the new Nazi Party. They want everybody either in prison or executed. Of course the commies do that too.
The solution to every problem for Democrats is more prosecutions.......b/c they’re so full of hate.
Now do Pennsylvanians understand this was why they have to vote for Oz!
It’s not because Oz is great, far from it! It’s because this guy is so so bad!
Fetterman is a Marxist. He wants to destroy the coal industry in PA. He is a repulsive excuse for a human being.
When are we going to start prosecuting RAT politicians for mugging the U.S. taxpayers?
BINGO!
Atlas is getting ready to shrug......................

Yes. There are also people on fr who don’t care if Fetterman wins. They are ranting against his Republican opponent, Dr Oz, every day.

He’s a prettier Elizabeth Warren ;(
This guy wants to prosecute those who help people get what they need.
I say this guy should take a long walk off a short plank 500 miles from land.
Maybe these companies should just stop Selling in Pennsylvania in an effort to mitigate damages from a proposed lawsuit against them.
LET THEM FREEZE AND STARVE TO DEATH
The problem with these imbeciles is that they know how to take and redistribute things.....but they have ZERO clue about how to PRODUCE things!
That is why socialism always fails.
Why don’t we prosecute city mayors & town councils who turn their cities into “woke” dumps?
The locals choose these people. It’s their prerogative to change it if they don’t want consequences anymore. They must like the consequences!
Why don’t prosecute them because it would be done to us double or triple!
The raid on Mar-a-Largo mean anything to you?
Lawfare is wrong no matter which side does it!
I get serious Atlas Shrugged thug vies from this guy.
