US Vice President Kamala Harris has come under fire after she laughed at a discussion of gasoline prices.
On July 2, the politician spoke to the public in New Orleans. During the discussion, she heard a remark that people are starting to search the Internet for ways to make gasoline at home. In response, Harris ridiculed the speaker and asked him not to try.
Viewers of Fox News, which published a recording of the dialogue, the behavior of the country’s second person seemed inappropriate.
“I’m a farmer and I’m hurt by the current gas prices. It’s hard to believe,” John Arnold wrote in a comment.
“It feels like we are kids left at home by our parents with creepy Uncle Joe and crazy Aunt Kamala,” said Cheryl Butler.
“They don’t even drive while they’re in office, why should they care how much we pay? True evil,” added Sean MacDougal.
“It is incredible that we are paying for her and for people like her. They don’t give a damn,” said an Understated user.
On July 2, US President Joe Biden posted on his official Twitter an appeal to gas station owners calling for lower gasoline prices.
On July 3, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, also made an ironic remark about Biden’s statement. The head of state should have redirected the appeal in accordance with his statements about the reason for the rise in prices, the diplomat suggested in her Telegram.
On June 30, Biden said that Americans would have to pay a high price for gasoline for as long as it takes. During a press conference in the Spanish capital after the NATO summit, he again accused Russia of rising fuel prices.
Before that, on June 14, at the rostrum of the 29th Congress of the Federation of International Trade Unions, the US President announced the existence of a simple plan to combat inflation and rising fuel prices. The first point in it is to “soften Putin’s increase in gas prices,” since this reason alone, according to the American leader, is the main source of all the country’s economic problems.
