During Wednesday’s White House press conference, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to explain why it took months for President Joe Biden to suggest a temporary federal gas tax break to help Americans at the gas pump.
The press conference came just an hour after Biden spoke , urging Congress to pass a three month federal gas tax break as Americans prepare to travel this summer, and as gases continue to hold out at record high prices. “This topic of a tax break has been out there for weeks and months. And you’re just talking now about starting conversation. Why is it just starting now?” one reporter asked.
Jean-Pierre responded that Biden wanted to “make sure he looked at the data” and “spoke to his economic team” before taking action.
“But I do want to take take a step back. if we look at the last several months, if we look at what has happened during — during the time that Putin amassed his forces along the border of Ukraine, we have seen gas prices rise by $2 per gallon. That is just the facts,” she said.
While gas prices have sharply risen since the February invasion of Ukraine, gas prices in the US had been creeping up for months before that.
“That is what we have seen, and the President has taken historic action. So yes, it’s been a couple of it’s been a couple of months, but he has taken action. He has not just been sitting around waiting to make a decision on this,” Jean-Pierre said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
