Twitter erupted after Joe Biden made a ridiculous comment about the high gas prices harming California residents. A reporter asked him, “have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s almost $7 bucks a gallon. Biden claimed California has always had $7/gallon gas prices. In an attempt to completely ignore the reality of his harmful policies’ impact on gas prices, he incoherently began talking about housing,
“Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied. “You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, [gas prices] 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.”
Joe Biden said the other day that “it’s always been the case” that gas in LA is $7 per gallon.
The average gas price in LA has never been $7 and was $3.15 when Trump left office.

Mark Meuser, a California Republican Senate candidate, was also critical of Biden’s claim, tweeting that the president was “out of touch” with how his policies are “destroying” the United States, Fox News Reported.
“I’m sorry, Mr. President, but California does not usually have $7 gas. In fact, prior to you becoming president, $5 gas in California was considered extremely high. You clearly are out of touch with how your policies are destroying this nation,” he tweeted.

Meuser posted a second tweet offering a solution to the “Bidenflation,” saying may I suggest you vote for candidates who will balance the budget? The current tax and spend agenda of this administration and the 50 senators supporting him is not working.
If you must delay your retirement due to #Bidenflation may I suggest you #Vote for candidates who will balance the budget. The current tax and spend agenda of this administration & the 50 senators supporting him is not working.#VoteThemAllOut2022 https://t.co/qbTl0sN6Nu
