Political Quotes

“This past weekend, on my way to a military medal presentation in Crossville, Tennessee, I stopped to fill my SUV with gas. Like many Americans, I was shocked to have to pay nearly $4 a gallon for gasoline. Putin's invasion of Ukraine has no doubt made this situation worse, but our skyrocketing gas prices are primarily due to President Biden's reversal of President Trump's highly successful energy policies that had oil and gas production high, gas pump prices low, had created hundreds of thousands of new energy jobs, and had created an energy- independent United States for the first time in decades. Instead of admitting this mistake, ending the freeze on new oil and gas projects, and stopping the regulatory assault on new energy projects in the United States, the Biden administration has reportedly been secretly meeting with Venezuela and its corrupt authoritarian regime to discuss the possible lifting of sanctions against importing Venezuelan oil. We currently purchase more than half a million barrels of oil a day from Russia, which needs to stop immediately. Instead of replacing Russian oil with equally nefarious Venezuelan oil, why not re-create those jobs here in America. ____________________”
