On America's News Headquarters today Gillian Turner and Leland Vittert were talking about the fuel tax in France and the ensuing riots

They said that mainly diesel is used in France

And there was recently a 30 cent tax added to make the price around $6.30 a gallon and that there is gonna be another one added in Jan of 25 cents more.

This money is gonna be used to fight Global Warming now called Climate Change.

Which means it is gonna be used to give the money to these phony orgs to waste on an imaginary problem

The voters are so uninformed, it’s so stupid to not vote to have the gas/vehicle taxes repealed

But most believe the hype because the ads and media brainwash them.

They’ll riot over gas taxes but not the invasion of muslims forced upon them to replace them.

France deserves this - they had a choice and they chose poorly. This what happens when you elect a 38 year old leftist who doesn’t have a clue. This could get interesting.
