Biden's Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says there is 'not much that can be done' on gas prices and continues to put the blame on Putin

Joe Biden's Commerce Secretary admitted Tuesday that the administration can't do anything to help relieve the surging price of gas – instead placing the blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine at the end of February.

'Unfortunately, that is the brutal reality,' Gina Raimondo told CNN when asked what President Biden can do to relieve Americans' wallets at the gas pump.

'You know,' Raimondo added, 'this is, in large part, caused by Putin's aggression. You know, since Putin moved troops to the border of Ukraine, gas prices have gone up over $1.40 a gallon, and the President is asking for Congress and others for potential ideas.

'But as you say, the reality is that there isn't very much more to be done,' she said.

As of Tuesday, the average price per gallon of gas in the U.S. reached a new high of $4.92 – with many Americans seeing the cost to fill up their tank exceed $100.

Raimondo warned that prices will not go down until an end to the war in Ukraine, which has gone on for over three months.

A poll released Sunday shows that when it comes to gas prices, 74 percent of Americans say that the issue will be at the top of their mind when they head to cast their vote in the 2022 midterm elections.

Well, if it’s Putin’s fault, just nuke Putin and voila, lower gas prices.

This is easy.

The DemoMarxists and their propaganda slugs are going to twist this a 1000 times over until they get as much people as possible to believe it. “It’s Putin! It’s Covid!” This is exactly why I call democrats “domestic enemies” they do not give one rats ass about this country. They would rather see it burn to ashes then ever take responsibility for anything

The opposite of a Marine; a “Can’t Do” mindset.
Just shrug your shoulders and get back on your phone.
“Whatevers!”

So, if Biden’s restrictions and ESG are so good, why must people lie about the results?

Funny how these lefties run as geniuses and tell the world how stupid their opposition is and yet, once they are in office, they are unable to affect anything. Unable to solve anything. A funny kind of “genius” that can’t achieve any beneficial results, only destruction.

The Biden Administration did this, they know it, and the American people know it, and are getting more pi$$ed by the minute. . . unparalleled lies and deceit.

Every lie they tell just makes my anger grow that much more.

That’s right. They can do anything they want. Who’s to stop them? They own everyone in the position to do something.

This whole administration is just a constant shrugging of shoulders.

“I can’t do anything!”
“I didn’t see that coming.”
“There’s nothing that can be done about that.”
“Trump ruined everything, get used to the new normal.”
“It’s all for the best, now we can transition to ... something ... better?”
“It’s going to be a haul. We just have to endure. Something will happen, I guess.”

Cute, the a-hole “admits” to something that is a flat out lie.
And the MSM tries to help push the BS narrative.

Liberals love to give Putin more credibility than he could possible have.

Putin made Biden shut down domestic sources of oil and energy?

Then the man should be a whacko liberal folk hero.

Partially true.

There is nothing they are willing to do.
