OH, YOU SWEET SUMMER CHILD! Scott Jennings Embarrasses MeidasTouch Dweeb Over Dems and Gas Prices.

Tweet continues:

MOCKLER: “This is going to be a big blue wave.”

“It already was going to be before the war in Iran. And this is the most like visceral change that we’ve seen so far.”

“When I drove to the airport today, I passed by two gas stations and I was paying attention. American families are paying attention to this.”

JENNINGS: “I’m old enough to remember when Democrats were advocating for higher gas prices to bring about the end of the internal combustion engine.”

“NOW, all of the sudden gas prices are a big deal.”

MOCKLER: “Wait, which Democrats said they want higher gas prices?”

JENNINGS: “Literally ALL of them.”

MOCKLER: “They said I want higher gas prices?!”

JENNINGS: “Yes! That was the stated policy, to drive prices, up to get rid of the internal combustion engine.”

Flashbacks:

Biden Taps Economist Who Bemoaned Gas Prices ‘Too Damn Low.’

Bloomberg headline: The Earth Wants Biden to Keep Gas Prices High.

● Great Moments in Gaslighting: Biden: High gas prices to last ‘as long as it takes’ for Ukraine victory.

● 2008 L.A. Times headline: “The joy of $8 gas.”

● “Under my plan, energy costs will necessarily skyrocket…”
