MS NOW unleashes cringe supercut of GOP hypocrisy on gas prices
"Republican lawmakers are in a tough spot as fuel prices continue to spike amid the war in Iran. As MS NOW showed, GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate railed against former President Joe Biden when fuel prices went up post-pandemic and Russia invaded Ukraine.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was asked about gas prices at the end of April, a week prior to those prices reaching the current highs.
"Well, there's nothing we can do," said Kennedy. It contrasts with what he said on Aug. 9, 2021, during an appearance on Fox News.
"I mean, I don't like to brag about all the expensive, expensive places I've been. But earlier today I went to the gas station," said Kennedy while gas prices were just $3.19 per gallon."
