Buy American...unless it's energy

Biden wants to buy American … unless it’s American energy.

From day one, Biden has attacked U.S. energy production. In fact, his policies cost the average American family $1,000 last year (and that was before Putin invaded Ukraine).

Now as home heating costs surge and gas prices reach 8-year highs, the Biden administration insists on relying on foreign producers and refuses to reverse Biden’s policies.

• Before the invasion, Biden begged countries like Russia and OPEC to produce more oil, and is now doubling down on his anti-U.S. energy agenda.

Biden talks about a "plan" to "blunt gas prices."

• Kamala Harris struggled to explain why the administration was refusing to undermine Putin’s greatest leverage – Russian energy production.

NBC asks Kamala Harris if Biden will sanction Russia's oil and gas industry.

Harris responds: "As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we're doing" pic.twitter.com/7ZRn9cIFiu

• Press Secretary Jen Psaki said “I don’t have anything to detail” when asked about expanding U.S. production, and claimed high prices justify Biden’s radical agenda.

• Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg justified Biden’s obstinance on energy by insisting “we are in the middle of a long-term transformation.”

If Biden truly wants to buy American, he should reverse his policies and start with American energy. But he doesn’t care about the pain Americans are feeling at the pump, so he won’t.
