Nancy Pelosi Goes Blank When Confronted With Skyrocketing Gas Prices

(NewsGlobal.com)- During her weekly press conference last Thursday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked if Congress would consider offering rebate cards or a direct payment card to Americans to help them pay for gas.

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently proposed giving registered California car owners $400 debit cards to help pay for gas.

Rather than laugh off the idea as ridiculous, Pelosi conceded that such proposals are being considered. However, Pelosi drew the line at the idea of offering a gas tax holiday, claiming there was no way to guarantee oil and gas companies would pass that savings along to consumers.

At one point, Pelosi addressed the price of gas in her home state, adding “How could this be?”

This woman is the Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency, and she doesn’t understand why gas prices are so high?

That same day, the White House announced that President Biden would release about one million barrels of oil a day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next six months.

What neither Pelosi nor this administration will consider, however, is increasing US oil production.

And when the American people express frustration and outrage, Washington’s response is to tell us to go buy an electric car.

Pelosi even admitted in her press conference that expanding US energy production was not an option:
