Thousands of social media posts have falsely painted President Joe Biden and his administration as catalysts of chaos who not only mishandled the temporary shutdown of the nation’s largest fuel pipeline last Friday, but engineered it.

These and thousands of other social media posts along with conservative websites and commentators this week misleadingly painted President Joe Biden and his administration as catalysts of chaos — who not only mishandled the temporary shutdown of the nation’s largest fuel pipeline on Friday — but engineered it.

Misleading narratives targeting Biden began picking up speed on Monday, the day North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper became the first of several governors to declare a state of emergency over the disruption. Other posts claimed the long gas lines across the Southeast U.S. were a harbinger of America’s future under Democrats, casting Biden as a socialist in a strategy that Republicans have frequently turned to in recent years.

Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday first broadcast the graphic of Biden smiling with the words “Biden’s Gas Crisis,” a term that later gained momentum on Facebook and Twitter.

That's more of a Rep maneuver... Did they call Putin?

I remember when the private credit market crashed in 2008, they said it was because the economy was afraid that Batak Obama was going to be President.

they don’t have to mastermind anything but they could certainly let a clusterfuck coast to the bottom of the hill and let it crash

That’s the fax in 4 months we went from secure borders to wide open. We went for energy efficient to high gas prices and long lines at the pump. We went from peace in the Middle East to are strongest Allie getting attached. Not to mention the loss of Thousands of jobs lost!

AliSwenson These are the same people who lined up with twice impeached one term ManchurianPresident Trump in siding with Russia against the USA. Why are they so unpatriotic and unAmerican?

Information heard by me reported temporarily down.

The ignorance of shutting down a significant pipeline that is essential until there is adaptation towards greener energy is now kicking Biden in the sack. We all should be learning from this. Egg then chicken.

That was Trump asking his fellow Russians to shut down the pipe to put the blame on Biden like everything else so he can come back for second term as a savior and hero…

It looks s all about Biden

The fact AP reports this as a “supply crunch”, the exact unique phraseology used by the Biden Administration is very telling, but AP understands this!

“... stir base with LIES.” Get it right.

Idiots. Friend of mine, sadly less of a friend these last three years, says to me, “You can’t even imagine the possibility we’re right?”. No. No I cannot. You are wrong. Trump is trash and Biden is a decent man on a difficult and righteous mission. Period, the end.

The responsibility for the panic is with the mass media looking to increase revenue by selling a histrionic narrative.

It’s not false they actually did it

What is your proof it is false?

LOL, an article defending the president I am done, media is so one sided. Wonder why people call it fake news, Trump who I don’t personally like could have delivered golden bricks to everyone in the U.S. and still be hated by the media. The double standard is horrific.

Falsely Biden definitely has a 'gas' problem!

Who says they’re false? Unbiased news media or the ap? He and his failing admin were 100% the catalyst behind the chaos and mishandling of this entire thing.

Get a life

How did Trump f*** up the east coast gas supply to make president Biden look bad?

Conservative say stupid shit everyday. Why should this be any different?

Amazing what a group of ignorant cultists will believe.

Don't go on Tik Tok then.. The righties are out in full force there. It's like watching lemmings fall off cliffs..

Former guy turned GQP into Russian propaganda machine. Kompromat on those with any brains (McConnell, Lady G). Blind loyalty for the rest of the hands (McCarthy, Gaetz, etc.) Putin told them to say it was Biden. Didn't need 'Maybe it was China' this time.
