Twitter Erupts After Biden Says Gas in California Has ‘Always’ Been $7 a Gallon
Prominent Twitters users attempted to fact-check Joe Biden after the president told a reporter that gas has “always” been $7 a gallon in California.
“The inflation report is out. Have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost,” a reporter asked Biden as he paid for food at a Los Angeles-based taco shop.
“Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied. “You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, [gas prices] came down about $1.35, and they’re still down over a dollar. But we’re going to work on, housing is the big, is the most important thing we have to do in terms of that.”
Social media users rushed to criticize Biden for his claim about gas prices in The Golden State, making note of his attempt to pivot the conversation towards housing.
“Bidenism at its finest in LA today. High gas prices is a housing problem?,” James Gallagher, the Republican minority leader in the California Assembly, tweeted.
False. When Biden was sworn in as President, gas in California was actually less than half what it is today. https://t.co/azNvtqEwdJ

I'm sorry Mr. President but California does not usually have $7 gas. In fact, prior to you becoming president, $5 gas in California was considered extremely high. You clearly are out of touch with how your policies are destroying this nation.https://t.co/Dn4dakGl4Y

To be clear, Democrats in Sacramento AND Washington are committed to making sure California has the highest gas prices in the nation.
Great work @JoeBiden at helping us hit all those record high prices in the last year 🙄 https://t.co/d75Kcp1XkP
