Biden’s ‘failure to act’ on gas prices created ‘significant emergency’: Oil industry exec
U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart calls out Biden’s ‘colossal failure of leadership’ in resolving record-high gas prices.
On "Cavuto Live" Saturday, U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart torched the president's "failure of leadership" to resolve record-high gas prices, and called out Biden's ironic move that would reverse his administration's own energy policies.
WHITE HOUSE PRESSED ON BIDEN'S PLEDGE TO GO TO WAR WITH BIG OIL, AS HE NOW BLAMES THEM FOR INFLATION
TIM STEWART: Now we find ourselves at the point where the Biden administration's failure to plan now constitutes a significant emergency. It's a colossal failure of leadership, and it's not going to be resolved by accusing millions of Americans who are working on the gas industry of being unpatriotic. They're trying to have it both ways.
U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart argues Biden's inaction to resolve record-high gas prices now constitutes a "significant emergency" on "Cavuto Live" Saturday, June 18, 2022.

On Wednesday, they accuse the oil and gas industry of price gouging and not doing enough when we're at 95% refining capacity. But on Thursday, they postponed additional leasing. And on Friday, we get to the point where they're promising gas cards for everybody.

The irony is, is those emergency powers would essentially be reversing their own energy policy decisions over the last 18 months. It's unbelievable that if that's what it takes to do it, we'll do it. We'll go that route.
