Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has turned the tables on Joe Biden over the Democrat president’s refusal to tap domestic oil and gas resources amid the energy crisis.
During a press conference regarding high energy prices, which are the main driver of inflation that’s crippling American families, DeSantis unloaded on Biden.
The governor noted that Biden recently visited Saudi Arabia, where he groveled before the regime and asked for help with oil shortages.
The trip failed, however, and the Saudis refused Biden’s request to export more oil.
“How come it’s wrong to produce our own oil and gas here, but you can go to Saudi Arabia and fist bump to try to get it from Saudi?” DeSantis said in reference to Biden’s overly friendly greeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“I mean, it makes no sense that we wouldn’t do it.
“We have opportunities here to be energy independent and not have to worry about any of these other countries.
“And yet they’re intentionally not doing it and you can’t run a modern economy on windmills. You just can’t do it.
“And so now we’re in a situation where they’re bragging that gas has gone down over the last however many weeks, it’s still over four bucks.
“Like I had never seen it over $4 in my whole life living here.
