Video below. The question was asked in a debate in 2020. Brandon was very straight in his answer — because he was appealing to the Green New Deal crowd.
Now, of course, he’d have a lot of caveats and “that didn’t mean what your ears heard it to mean” lies about it.
Steve Ratner, Obama’s economic advisor, straight-up calls Brandon a liar for claiming the inflation we’ve seen for a year is due to the invasion that started February 24th.
Even if it is on a government “fact sheet” that Jen Griffin’s been given.
Biden is blaming Putin, but remember high gas prices are all part of Biden's plan. Putin is just a convenient distraction. pic.twitter.com/YqUjxlbrSP

“Look, this executive order I’m signing today also makes it official that climate change will be at the center of our national security and foreign policy. ”
And energy policy, too. He should have added that, but this was a speech about foreign policy and national security.
In October 2021, Brandon prognosticated, falsely, that the price of gas would come down. He also said that Middle Eastern leaders wanted to talk to him about energy production — but arrogantly and dismissively said he didn’t know if he wanted to talk to them.
He’s referring to the Saudi’s alleged assassination of Jamal Kashoggi. That’s what he means by some things going beyond the price of oil. Saudi Arabia isn’t worth talking to, even about something important like oil — because Virtue Signaling to the leftwing propaganda media is even more important.
Biden: “Gas prices relate to a foreign policy initiative that is about something that goes beyond the cost of gas … And so, there’s a lot of negotiation that is — there — there’s a lot of Middle Eastern folks who want to talk to me. I’m not sure I’m going to talk to them." https://t.co/gv0It9Wza7

Brilliant diplomacy, Sheriff Joe.

Maybe that’s why, when you desperately tried to call Saudi Arabia and the UAE to plead with them to bail you out of your latest crisis by pumping more oil, they literally refused to even take your call.The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices, said Middle East and U.S. officials.Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticism of American policy in the Gulf.
Oooch — no one ever expects their empty Virtue Signals to cost them, huh?!
America’s back, baby!
The adults are back in charge!
Let’s check in with CNN to see their “journalism” on the nonsenselie that the inflation that began early 2021 is actually due to an invasion that began February 24, 2022:
