Partisan finger pointing is nothing new in Washington, and with prices increasing for a wide-range of everyday items, the blame game continues apace. One such product being used as a political weapon is gasoline.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio blamed Biden for the rising prices in gas in a tweet Monday, noting that the average gas price increased by 86 cents per gallon from June 2020 to June 2021 and pointed at"President Biden's economy!" to explain the difference in cost. Similar arguments have been made by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa as well as right-wing groups on social media.
Yes Biden is the BLAME . He shut down the oil industry and the Pipeline
What do You think,Didn’t This Jerk JoeBiden Shut Down American PIPE LINES to Cause an increase in Our Gas Supply.
Unless it’s Trump or any Republican then it’s there fault and you would interview everyone at the gas pump complaining how high gas is
CNN licking Biden’s Ball in the unthinkable way ! Good , keep doing it till Americans all feel sick .
This was inevitable since the world shut down for a year and corporate wants it’s share back
WOW! I wonder who you think is responsible for the massive number of illegals crossing our southern border, evidently it isn't Biden as he isn't responsible for doing anything anyway, because he doesn't do anything but sign executive orders, just blame President Trump for it all.
We have a wealthy progressive economy, we big oil reserve, but the gas is going up, why is that.
Yes
CNN knows no bounds when it comes to dishonesty.
JeriLRyan The President has no real control over gas prices. While he can create new pipeline initiatives, that doesn't necessarily mean anything in conjunction with prices. All that is really controlled by the oil industry.
JeriLRyan Yes, Biden IS responsible for the fact that people are driving again, building things, going to work, an vacationing
Wasn't there a major hack into our infrastructure a few months ago. Aren't the GOP making money on the prices?
I blame the the Colonial Pipeline hack for the start of higher gas prices, but prices will continue to go up because Biden shut down the XL Pipeline. Ultimately, long term, it's on him.
Let’s not forget That he also shut down a crucial pipeline so now the oil has to go a long way around instead of straight down through the US
The same people blaming President Joe Biden for rising gas prices are the same people who would never give Obama credit for plummeting prices during his presidency
Economists always blame increased prices on anything on supply and demand . Increases can also be traced back to Wall St speculators and the Saudis controlling the spigot.
Didn’t he shut down a pipeline? 🤔
Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that he blocked a pipeline and closed Alaska's fields. All the while his people say a pipeline from Texas to the east coast was the best transport during the shutdown. TexasTwoStep
Propagate narrative. Consume product. Repeat. Don’t ask questions.
Hope gas goes to 10 a gallon and there are 1000,000 murders this year. It is what you people want. Keep hating America strong
Facts first hahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣. CNN such a clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Who was it who stopped the pipeline and drilling?
No it's not. Gas prices were much lower under Trump because, you know, Keystone Pipeline.
You mean the 'recovery' where no one wants to get a job because they are content getting a government handout instead?
bull$hit
xidenheiressenergycrisis
Yeah, probably Trump’s fault.
I got tesla. So, no worries. Biden is responsible for brnging in illegal aliens. The President of Guatemala said so. Whisper, whisper, in press conference, so weird. I thought trump - grab them by the p*s was strange, Hug ladies, whisper biden is miles ahead of him in weirdness.
It’s the same in Canada, should we blame Biden? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
since when has CNN cared about facts though?
Common sense: when a president handcuffs oil production in our country it results in higher oil and gas prices!
I’m just an independent, but would this have been tweeted if Trump was the President?
Peddle that shit somewhere else CNN
QAnon cult members low lifers will try anything
CNN has been carrying Biden lunch box for decades but this one is hilarious BidenEnergyCrisis created by Biden Closed pipelines Increased government regulations just tip of the ArcticRefuge
Of course he is. Trump era economy is hot while keep price for everything low.
Doesn't it always go up this time of year when more people are on vacation and traveling?
He's the only one to blame, my cost has sky rocketed, he's places against fossil fuel has cost me plenty
Same week Joe axed the Ketstone, OPEC cut production, raising prices. A correlation or a coincidence? CNN needs to read a dictionary and understand the difference between a fact and an assumption.
CNN in full cover mode.
Lol! This is the highest they’ve been in 4 years! Quit covering this guys ass and just tell the truth! Oh, what was I thinking? This is CNNDNC!
Fact: If Trump was President it was 24/7 coverage on how gas prices are Trump’s fault.
Bullshit!
This is funny.
All the bad things that happened under Trump is Trump's fault. All the good things happening under Biden are thanks to Biden. Biden do no bad. Trump do no good. Ooga booga. Me know politic good. Me samrt
It is Democrat strategy to increase fossil fuel price to stimulate alternative fuel use and development, right now fossil fuels cheaper, oh and FYI the US dollar value to other currencies has huge impact price
cope
This is incorrect and a blatantly false statement by CNN. Oil went up the second the BigGuy started signing exec orders to stop leasing rights on federal lands. Further actions this admin has taken has led to a rise in inflation not seen since the 90’s but yeah, not his fault.
LOL! The economy was BOOMING under Trump & we enjoyed cheap energy.
How is it misleading when the first thing he did directly impacted gas prices?
That makes no sense
Biden cut off the Canadian pipe line!!
It is his fault. And he’s making Russia richer. C’mon man
Whitehead oil in Lincoln, Ne. Will always have higher prices as the company cares more for their profit margin.
CNN is Fox News for liberals
Tesla owners be like, “what high gas prices?”
Very cheap for a fuel on the way out.
This is why you’re ratings have tanked.
Out of all the people in this country 35+ years of age, those were the two we had to vote for...really? Something's gotta change. Get every member of Mensa and have the people vote the best leader of them. Why do we not just elect the smartest all around person with leadership?
We went right to the University of California Berkley where we were able to find a liberal economist that quickly laid to rest any possibility whatsoever that it is President Bidens responsibility for gas prices.
Great way
Economy was firing on all cylinders 2 years ago and the gas prices were a dollar less per gallon
Fake News CNN and'facts' is a oxymoron... the Babylon Bee gets it right more
YES!
No difference between a pile of horse crap, and this story.
But it’s not misleading for giving him credit for job creation. Spin it harder.
Nice spin!
🤣 continues to be an absolute joke
It’s astonishing to see post this. This is not a reporter story. This is str8 defense of someone. In all my years I haven’t seen the MSM post a defense of someone without it being reported by a reporter.
Anglo-Saxon Anti-Human Bandit! Open Fort Detrick! Get out of the earth!
Stop crying, we pay in Holland almost 2 euro a liter, 1 gallon is 3,8 liter. 1 euro is $ 1,20. So do the math. And, smaller cars use less petrol 😉.
I was told back in February that the high gas prices were due to the economy starting back up. How many months does it usually take for a start-up? I'd like to know when it's ok to start blaming it on the president's decisions to shut down pipelines.
Gasoline costs €1,98 per liter in the Netherlands, equaling $8,92 per gallon. For each liter the Dutch government earns €1,13 in taxes….like pouring whiskey in your tank…
So I guess him shutting down the Keystone pipeline had nothing to do with it. I guess the economy “starting back up” is due to him putting thousands out of a job and the fear of inflation. Way to go Joe!
Hey if we blame high gas prices in Joe Biden’s Economy, does that mean he also gets credit for our homes that are worth 15%more than last year?
If I were looking to blame someone for the high gas prices, it would be Donald Trump, for getting Russia and Saudi Arabia to end their feud, they were GIVING oil away it was so cheap then!
Under Trump you people literally blamed EVERYTHING on the president.
LMAOOOOO
Facts First: it seems you failed the course of logic where the economy is still hovering as the virus is recharging itself from Indian gas station ..
Yes he’s totally to blame, he’s done nothing but hinder the gas and oil production in this country by his shutting down the pipeline, and he has made sure we have to depend on FOREIGN oil, destroying thousnnds of jobs, here in the U.S. first WEEK in off-ice. Fact check that CNN.
You had intermittent lockdowns, a widespread slack in business activity, there is a decline in the spread of covid, business suddenly opens up and DEMAND FOR GAS GOES UP then FUEL PRICE OBVIOUSLY GOES UP.
You reckon
He cut supply as demand increased. What percent of the new clearing price is his fault?
Yet you blamed Trump for all of your ills
Uh, so… This is bullshit for starters… Covering for Biden. CNN is fake news. Facts First: Biden is the reason gas prices are high.
I want whatever drugs news reporters are on.
CNN hires only the best hacks
It IS the presidents fault or whoever is telling him what to do since he is completely clueless 99% of the time.
there some facts for ya
He is absolutely to blame of course CNN will jump on Joe's back but he is the one who cancelled to Keystone pipeline
How is it misleading at all? He canceled the keystone pipeline which directly impacted gas prices on the same day.
Sorry prices never went down in the last 4 years,even during the pandemic! D.M. Iowa for regular unleaded always above three dollars. During Obamas years it was down as low as two dollars, special interest and corporate greed, remember what just happen in Texas ? Cruz bailed.
Can’t imagine you would feel this way if Trump was President.
Well that is a lie !
Our local pumps have been dry past few days. New norm and time for EV says uncle sugar 😏
CNN has no bottom
yes he is
Horseshit. The prices *started* creeping up in freaking January right after he was inaugurated! At least, in this neck of the woods! That's *before* the economy started back up again. Suck-ups!
There are things that they could do to offset some of this. He won't. Sadly our leaders are not making the best decisions for us. Plus I don't believe anything CNN fact checks ever.
No
OMG, gas prices has always gone up right before the summer time starts.
Absolutely not! Numerous factors, but number 1 reason, economics 101, supply and demand.
I know one thing I can't no longer take these high gas prices. This makes me want to take the bus. Is it possible can Mr. President give the American people stimulus gas cards?
Look at the numbers on the top left. Look at the comments at tonight’s rally.
No President is responsible for the prices of gas. Then again, too many people out there are extremely stupid and believe anything they're told.
The economy was doing well before 2020 and fuel was down to 2.15 so what was the reason then?
Fake news
Yeah…. Nothing to do with policy. Liars
You need UK tourist in America they spend a lots of money in your country…
So it’s coincidental that as he takes office fuel ⛽️ prices go through the roof………..🧐
Why not you blamed the former president for everything
Still half the price of some other countries
That’s the lamest reason I ever heard. Because more people are driving that’s why the gas prices are higher. Right.
CNN trying to do damage control for Biden
No more than a president gets credit when they are low
Bullshit. Less domestic production leads to more dependence on foreign oil leading to the price increases. Fact check yourself.
Ass kissers
Yes
Well after seeing these long lines at the local gas stations. And these people fighting for gas at their local gas station, we folks in the gasoline business can now raise those prices because of supply & demand.
Could it have anything to do with the ship that block the canal and caused a gas shortage? Oops that’s right President Biden wasn’t the Captain of the Vessel 🚢 No more than he was the cause of Texas power black out. Can you say Republican senators like Ted Cruz in Cancun?
Wow! You really believe that?
More lies from the biggest liars in the propaganda business
Such a lie
Oil companies are seeing $$ now that people are starting to move around. Gouge baby gouge!
You wouldn't know facts if it dick slapped you in the face
You have got to be kidding me !!
Big oil exploiting the pandemic as usual big oil don’t care we the people are struggling while we are trying to get back on our feet!
HELL NO! I’d rather have high gas prices than COVID!!!
Then why were gas prices low 2016-2019? Is it because we were energy independent? Would love to hear your opinion once again, but we know you won’t answer

WHCOS Even if you are correct, you are a news organization. This is not how you frame a story. This is why I can’t stand cnn
CNN showing their bias again by defending their party’s President
WHCOS I said it to my friend Mike thats a retired police captain.. The minute the first stimulus went out I turned to him and said 'Mark my words theyr giving this $ n theyr gonna want it back and they are gonna go right for the gas pumps! That was over a yr ago and here we are!!! BS!
Just misleading? US OIL Producers cut production my several million barrels last spring and have never increased it!
That’s what happens when you shut pipelines down
lol
Facts Firsr: They’ve been high for 5 months now and you’re covering for a president who is incapable of doing things like reading out loud and walking straight. CNN is not a news station. This shit is embarrassing.
No. It’s directly the President Uncle Joe’s fault. Save your spin for why you don’t cover Hunter’s OCD usage of the N word.
SUCH BULLSHIT AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!
What is happening now, was put in motion before Biden was elected President. We are still living in what Trump did, like it or now.
'facts'
Facts First: Most CNN anchors are millionaires and don’t really care about gas prices.
Bull shit
It’s 100% Biden and his handlers fault
Facts First: I remember a great economy in 2019 and early 2020 and gas prices under $2 per gallon. CNNsucks
Yeah ok let's blame Congress then. They dont do anything.
Facts First: You blamed Trump for it.
Lmfao.
CNN… ALWAYS PUSHING DEMOCRATIC TALKING POINTS…
But it was GW Bush's fault when we had six months of high gas prices in 2008, and not Obama's fault when we had six years of high gas prices during his presidency. Go figure.
Tell that to the evangelical Trump supporters who don’t understand economics.
cnn fact check LMAO
Lmao 🤣
CNN trying to prop up there installed candidate
Absolute bullshit The price was lowest just prior to covid when the economy was at it's best The price is based on supply and demand, when there is even an expectation that supply will be limited due to President Biden's putting the brakes on new drilling the price goes up
Yes
Lmbo
Hahahhahaha
