Record-high gas prices a result of Biden’s policies, says Rep. Mullin

During an interview on "Mornings with Maria" Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., slammed President Biden for driving up the price of energy, and argued that it's a "flat-out lie" that Biden cannot control gas prices.

REP. MARKWAYNE MULLIN: This is what you expect when you elect a career politician. I tell people, if you're ever going to change Washington, D.C., you got to start changing the resumes you send there. You got a 40-year career politician that is trying to run the country. He's running on a socialist agenda. And when you have a republic that works for a democracy, that's for the people, by the people, then you have growth. When you have a socialist agenda, you have a government takeover. 

And anything that government has ever touched, it's always destroyed. And that's exactly what's happening right now in our energy sector. You have a policy that they see this happening. You have Joe Biden that comes out and says that 'I can't control gas prices yet.' That's a flat-out lie because it's his policies that's driven us to this place and he sees another disaster coming. And what does he do? He backs off. I bet he'll probably end up assigning Vice President Harris to take over this crisis, just like he did on the southern border. And you know how well that's went.
