Sen. John Barrasso: “Joe Biden Can't Hide from the Fact that He is the President of High Gas Prices”

Republicans, like Barrasso, are pushing the administration to increase domestic oil production while reducing foreign energy dependency. Biden already banned all Russian oil imports, and Americans are coping with inflation and steep prices at the gas pump.

Earlier on "This Week," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., dismissed claims that Biden is to blame for rising gas prices at home. But Barrasso said no matter who they blame "Democrats have a very big problem."

"Well, Joe Biden can't hide from the fact that he is the president of high gas prices," Barrasso said. "And they're looking for anyone to blame, whether it's Putin, whether it's Republicans, whether it's energy companies, whether it's COVID. The Democrats have a very big problem with 40-year high inflation, highest gas prices ever."
