Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., slammed the Biden administration for its unwillingness to ramp up domestic energy production to help combat America's energy crisis.
There's no doubt that everybody is feeling it. The bottom line is, in Joe Biden's America right now, it's just expensive to live. I hear that all the time from my constituents and, in fact, last night, I did a tele town hall where we took questions from constituents in my district for about an hour. Question after question about oil prices, gas prices.
What can we do to get some relief? Can't we resume production here in the United States? Very good and intelligent questions. I think real people get it. I think Congress gets it, and unfortunately, the Biden administration, it hasn't sunk through. And so we're going to need to, instead of what President Biden is proposing, kowtowing to dictators and Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and Iran, he needs to be reaching out to people in Texas and North Dakota and Alaska and other states.
