President Biden brushed off $7-a-gallon gas in California — saying “that’s always been the case” and confusingly linking it to housing — after paying $60 for takeout Thursday at a Los Angeles taco shop.
Biden said without elaboration that “housing” was “the most important thing” for gas prices, which in California actually surged 39% over the past 12 months for an average of $6.20 per gallon, according to AAA.
“The inflation report is out. Have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost,” a reporter said after Biden handed a cashier three $20 bills for a $16.45 order of six tacos and two quesadillas.
“Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied.
“You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, they came down about $1.35, and they’re still down over a dollar. But we’re going to work on — housing is the big — is the most important thing we have to do in terms of that.”
It’s unclear if Biden, who turns 80 next month, intended to draw a closer link between the two subjects before his reply was cut off by a different reporter’s question, but his answer attracted attention after a series of recent gaffes.
James Gallagher, the Republican minority leader in the California Assembly, tweeted, “Bidenism at its finest in LA today. High gas prices is a housing problem?”

Weakbrained old fool wants gas expensive. He thinks it will force people to go electric.
“Idiocracy”
2008-2016
And since late 2020
He’s lying again. All of CA is not SoCal. I have NEVER paid these current prices for gas!
“Let them eat Tacos!”
Hope his handlers are putting the heavy duty Depends on him.
Die already, Brandon.
The man is mentally deficient, and this continued charade is elder abuse of the highest order.
He enjoys getting his behind wiped, so much so he brags about it to reporters gathered to see him.

Did Biden order the “Extra Big-Ass Taco”?
Did he then say….”F You I’m eating”….”Brought to you by Carls Jr.”?
That must be the dementia talking, because not even Biden would have enough contempt for people to cut loose that kind of bald-faced lie. Would he?
Good job, 63% of California voters who voted for him. Shift those 55 electoral votes to the other side and guess who would be president today?
I think he said “Go Away” “Bating”!
He was an inbred retard before he was demented.
(a $16.45 order of six tacos and two quesadillas)
I’m surprised you can get that much food in California for that price.
My favorite street tacos place is at least $2.25 per item here in the Midwest.
Since the beginning of time, or at least as long as Biden can remember - which I figure was about 4pm.
And that is really sad...that American's are having to be subjected to this man.
well, it’s gonna be...
I bet the old pudding fartknocker hated life this morning.
Huh? Has Joetato gone a day in the last three years without a gaffe?
Loved Idiocracy.
Also loved the little gas station in Santa Monica almost at the freeway entrance where I bought gas for about $1.25/gallon for my drive to work over the mountain to the San Fernando Valley.
Ancient history, but still within Brandon’s “always”.
