Biden Mocks Oil Company For Proposing Solutions To Bring Down Gas Prices As American Families Suffer

President Joe Biden mocked the CEO of a major U.S. company Tuesday afternoon after the company proposed solutions to help lower gas prices as American families suffer pain at the pump.

Biden’s remarks were aimed at Chevron CEO Michael Wirth, who said that his company’s mission was to “work every day to help provide the world with the energy it demands and to lift up the lives of billions of people who rely on these supplies.”

Wirth said that Chevron wants to assist the Biden administration in fighting soaring fuel costs, but that the administration “has largely sought to criticize, and at times vilify, our industry.”

“These actions are not beneficial to meeting the challenges we face and are not what the American people deserve,” he wrote. “We need clarity and consistency on policy matters ranging from leases and permits on federal lands, to the ability to permit and build critical infrastructure, to the proper role of regulation that considers both costs and benefits. Many of these elements are described in our industry’s recently released 10-point plan.”

Biden responded to Wirth’s remarks by mocking him, saying that “he’s mildly sensitive.”

“I didn’t know they’d get their feelings hurt that quickly. Look, we need more refining capacity. This idea that they don’t have oil to drill and to bring up is simply not true.”- READ MORE
