Oil companies have a “patriotic duty” to help lower gas prices, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre proclaimed Wednesday as Americans continue to grapple with record breaking fuel costs.
With the average gallon of gas above $5 nationwide, Jean-Pierre called out oil companies following a scathing letter“We see it as a patriotic duty, as we’re — as we are — as we’ve talked about,” Jean-Pierre said during Wednesday’s press briefing. “There’s war happening right now in Ukraine that was caused by — caused by Russia, which is why we’re seeing these hikes in gas prices.
“We are calling on them to do the right thing, to be patriots here, and not to use the war as an excuse or as a — as a reason to not put — to not put out a production, not — to not do the capacity that is needed out there so that the prices can — so that the prices can come down.” President Biden speaks about the economy and inflation from the deck of the USS Iowa at the Port of Los Angeles on June 10.“So, we know where to put the blame: on the war,” she went on to say. “But oil companies, they have — oil refineries, they have a responsibility too. What they have been doing is taking advantage of the war.”
The President took an Oath guess FeebleJoe FORGOT. He’s no Patriot
That’s just silly.
Beware the government that is willing to put 'patriotic duty' behind anything that serves their own agenda.
Reagan was accused of having Alzheimer’s into his 2nd term. No one dares say Biden is going senile.
No actually they do not. Joey has a Patriotic duty to insure companies can thrive and compete without the shackles of government. Joey is only looking out for Joey and his Chinese and Ukrainian handlers.
Joe Biden had a patriot Judy however he canceled the keystone pipeline reversed all of President Trump successful energy independent oil policies and now is importing dirty oil
Meanwhile at OPEC boardroom.. (hysterical laughter) Then he said its our ..PaTrIoTiC dUtY?!!.., This capitalism beeyotch.. M.O.E. Money Over Everything..
😂😂
Oh now the Biden Administration is blaming the oil companies, I guess the blaming Putin plan wasn't working. Pretty soon he will blame tax payers for being selfish because they continue to drive to work.
That’s not going to work you crazy old turtle
AMERICAN PEOPLE n COUNTY Aren't Stupid !! Brandon REMINGE Promised this CRAZY 😂 HOAX now it BACK FIRED on Him !!

Blame game Biden
Biden has a patriotic duty to re-establish fossil fuel as our energy source until we have an infrastructure to support electric or other sources of energy!
Laughs in Dutch Royal Shell
Let’s Go, Brandon!
Silly. Someone can do the math. If oil companies gave up all of their profits it would result in very little change in the price of gas.
The oil companies are greedy for sure. The bigger problem is that Joe Biden and his administration have no idea what they're doing. From Afghanistan to Boosters. They are a clown show. This fall will be very interesting.
Sounds like Communism
Leave people alone and they will. Don’t act like you don’t have anything to do with it.
Ever see a rat trying to get out of a box?
How about lowering our taxes first?
This is so pathetic.
What about the government's patriotic duty to stop printing money out of thin air?
Biden said he is forcing gas prices higher but doesn't have the political capital to pay for it. Red tsunami forever
Is there anyone left (not paid trolls) that still believes this shit?
This is so Soviet. Create problems you refuse to solve then blame capitalism.
The White House is so weak it’s pathetic. That’s what happens when you hire people based on their gender, Color, or religion rather then their skill set!!!!
ASS🤡🤡🤡🤡
The war on Afghanistan enabled the national security elite to extract money from the US taxpayer, wash it through Kabul and back into their own pockets. The 40 billion “aid” package to Ukraine serves the same corrupt purpose. Azovstal Eurovision Russia NATO European
