White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wished that she took a sick day after a press conference was turned upside down by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy.
Polls are showing that Americans understand the sanctions against Russia however are furious that Biden did not prepare for the impact that they were going to have. Reports reveal that 70% of Americans want the president to quickly increase oil production along with any other form of energy to get prices down.
Curtis Houck from Newsbusters posted a lengthy back and forth between Psaki and Doocy who began to expose the tiresome hypocrisy of the Biden Administration.
Doocy to Psaki: “We have heard the President warn for months the gas prices were rising b/c of the supply chain & b/c of post-pandemic demand, if you guys knew for months that this was going to be the #PutinPriceHike, why are we just hearing that now?” pic.twitter.com/ynmUCkdA5c

Doocy: “Does…Biden think that each of these 9,000 leases…have oil or gas in them? B/c industry experts are saying that…is a…red herring. Some…are viable & some are not. So when you say that, this represents a fundamental misunderstanding as to how this process works.” pic.twitter.com/PtXg9WtYRN

The question asked below was before the Saudis refused to take Biden’s call and then left to meet with Putin.
Psaki: “If we’re trying to bring about more supply, that does not address any problem.”
Doocy: “Is supply from Canada, a friendly ally, instead of Saudi Arabia –”
Psaki: “That — that’s…we’re already getting that oil…The pipeline is just a delivery mechanism[.]” pic.twitter.com/OWpJR5Cvxg

Doocy: “Is it possible that Joe Biden will ever say, ‘you guys can go ahead w/construction of Keystone XL?”
Psaki: “There’s no plans for that & it would not address any of the problems we’re have currently.” (7/7) pic.twitter.com/J6Q7aC6JOr
