Vice President Kamala Harris’ latest claim sparked criticism from Twitter.

During a speech at Bowie State University in Maryland Wednesday, Harris said, “For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation.”

In response, one user called Harris a “pathological liar.”

Podcast host Shawn McBreairty tweeted, “Is the dumbest person in the White House, or simply a close second? No one and I mean no one in America has seen reductions in our energy bills.”

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) wrote, “At this point, does Kamala just like lying to the American people or is she really that detached from reality?”

Journalist Patrick Henningsen added, “That’s it folks, she’s changed the economy. You can now go ahead and book that dream holiday…”

Co-founder of Women for America First Amy Kremer argued Harris is “an idiot for believing what she is saying or for reading what someone wrote…probably both.”

Last month, USA Today reported that the number of households receiving assistance with energy this winter alone increased by roughly 1.3 million, from 4.9 million to 6.2 million, citing policy organization National Energy Assistance Directors Association.

The outlet noted applications to apply for assistance are made through the federal social services Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program in each individual state across the country.

“These numbers don’t even account for possible increases in applications this summer to help families pay for air-conditioning as they deal with rising temperatures due to climate change,” Mark Wolfe, executive director for the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, told USA Today.

He added, “We could hit record levels of applications this year if current trends continue.”

Additionally, it was reported by the outlet that families are having a hard time paying energy bills as well as acquiring other essential needs, including food and rent.

Prices for groceries notably increased by 10.4% annually in December while rent spiked approximately 7.5%, per USA Today.
