In his Thursday remarks on gas prices that hit their all-time high earlier in March, President Biden singled out oil and gas companies in another attack on their industry before he denied any responsibility for skyrocketing fuel prices and announced measures he claimed will help Americans feeling pain at the pump.

The root cause of high fuel prices are due to two things, according to President Biden: the pandemic and Vladimir Putin. No mention of his administration’s policies — enumerated by Townhall here — that caused fuel costs to rise since Biden’s first day in office when he started killing off American energy projects.

Biden continued demonizing oil and gas companies and accusing them of prioritizing profits over the American people — sort of like how Biden has prioritized the radical climate alarmist agenda over the America people. Biden also said it was an opportunity for “patriotism” for oil and gas companies to produce more oil and forego profits, again failing to mention that his administration spent the last 15 months seeking to starve those companies of capital while slow-walking their permits to begin producing more oil.
