Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds told a CNN reporter in May that she was “conflating issues” when she mentioned rising gas prices during the Trump administration’s Iran war.
WATCH:
“Let’s be very clear about gas prices. The reason why oil prices are high on the world market is because the Iranian regime once again, a theocratic dictatorship, is wanting to force the Strait [of Hormuz] closed because they would rather foment terror and have nuclear weapons.” Donalds, who is a 2026 candidate for Florida governor, said. “And they want to put pressure on the West through oil prices.”
