Marjorie Taylor Greene Mocked for Saying the Gas Prices for Electric Cars Are Too High
"At a Sunday rally for former reality TV star and current presidential candidate Donald Trump, far-right Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to dunk on electric vehicles, arguing that — well, it's hard to say what she was arguing, exactly. But rest assured, she doesn't like 'em!
"If you think gas prices are high now, just wait until you're forced to drive an electric vehicle," Greene told rally-goers, who, after a brief pause, began to boo in agreement.
"America is sick of it," she added.
Of course, as electric cars are powered by electricity and not by gasoline, it's unclear what her point is or what Americans are sick of. Is she confusing EVs with hybrids, which use gasoline to generate electricity? Is she claiming that powering electric cars is more expensive than fueling up a gas-guzzler, which it definitely isn't?"
