(WATCH) Fox News Reporter Points Out Biden Hypocrisy On Electric Vehicles, Irritates Jen Psaki (VIDEO)
Fox News’ Peter Doocy once again pressed White House Press secretary Jen Psaki over Biden’s hypocritical leadership. Doocy brought up how Biden often advocates for electric vehicles and green energy but how Biden also posted a video of himself “revving the engine” of a gas-powered automobile.
Earlier this week, Biden authored a tweet that encouraged Americans to buy electric cars to push back against Putin. Biden said, “Loosening environmental regulations won’t lower prices. But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles, powered by clean energy, will mean that no one will have to worry about gas prices. It will mean tyrants like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon.”
Loosening environmental regulations won’t lower prices.
But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles, powered by clean energy, will mean that no one will have to worry about gas prices.
It will mean tyrants like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon.

The official White House account chimed in, saying, “When we have electric cars powered by clean energy, we will never have to worry about gas prices again. And autocrats like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as weapons against other nations.”
Electric cars that are powered with electricity from fossil fuel burning plants, run on tires made with petroleum, and drive down roads made with oil-based asphalt. https://t.co/18ypTnt5ef

Watch Doocy press Psaki below:
Psaki: "And he has also driven electric vehicles as President…to give a model to the rest of the country."
Doocy: "Does he own one?"

While Psaki said the president, himself, does not “do a lot of driving,” Biden still has an enormous motorcade that drives often and he travels on Air Force one consistently. Journalist Paul Joseph Watson said, “Biden’s contribution to fighting climate change. – 85-car motorcade in Rome – His own 244-horsepower car “the Beast” – Each car generates 10x the normal amount CO2 – 10,000 mile return trip on Air Force One – 2.2 million pounds of carbon total They’re taking the piss.”

Doocy also ripped into Biden for blaming “Putin for everything” and the continued inflation problem America is facing.
Doocy 🔥🔥: "inflation goes up today. The President's statement blames the #PutinPriceHike. Are you guys going to just start blaming Putin for everything until the midterms?"
Psaki: "Well, we've seen the price of gas go up at least $.75 since…Putin lined up troops[.]" pic.twitter.com/WcmfcQDSWL

Doocy: "Last month, the statement did not mention of the #PutinPriceHike. It mentioned inflation b/c of the pandemic. Why is that?"
Psaki: "Well…the last 2 yrs there was a global pandemic…Global economists have…agreed…that has been the biggest contributor to date." pic.twitter.com/YcGds0nlUK
