Blackburn

Marsha Blackburn's strange conspiracy theory about gas prices and the Biden administration isn't just backwards, it's also poorly timed.

As a Vox report recently explained, “Biden has done nothing to halt oil leasing. “At a time of war — historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable,” the president said in a letter to oil companies today. Now Biden is using his energy crisis as an excuse to implement his radical Green New Deal. This is not a coincidence. Indeed, while the right likes to pretend that the Democratic White House has killed domestic energy production as part of a war on fossil fuels, Team Biden has done largely the opposite. “They feel like this helps them, moving to all electric vehicles, forcing you out of a gas-powered vehicle and into an electric vehicle.” Sen. Marsha Blackburn has been known to embrace some odd conspiracy theories, but late last week, the Tennessee Republican broke some new ground.
