House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is rejecting the idea that Americans are blaming Democrats for higher Gas Prices.
During a press conference on Thursday, she was asked by Fox News’ Chad Pergram, “Do you think the public is blaming Democrats” for higher Gas Prices?”
“No, I don’t think the public is blaming Democrats. I think they’re blaming the oil companies,” Pelosi responded.
She continued, “They will blame all of us if we don’t do something about the fossil fuel industry.”
However, Pergram asked if Americans will punish Democrats in the midterm elections over higher Gas Prices.
“I don’t think that what you’re saying is making very much sense, frankly,” the California Democrat responded.
She added, “In all fairness, we’re friends. Candor is part of our friendship.”

Instead, Pelosi asked, “If the Republicans stand in the way of us freeing the consumer of the stranglehold of Big Oil, you think they’re going to blame that on the Democrats?”
