Sigh.

Yesterday evening.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Anyone else paying more at the pump under Joe Biden?

The average price of gas in Missouri has soared under this administration to $2.84/gallon today.

A year ago under President Trump, it was just $1.92/gallon.

“Your awl stoopit” would have taken less time to type.

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

wow. you mean gas was cheaper during the pandemic slow down?

I wonder why?

but maybe I just don’t understand economics as well as a home economics teacher…

Nah.

A year ago, we hadn’t had a couple of major hurricanes blast through the Gulf of Mexico, knocking out refineries and pipelines either.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually think before you hit the tweet button, Vicki

Sometimes?

A year ago no one was going anywhere. Supply and demand.

Geez, Vicky, if that’s all you have against Biden, he must be doing a pretty good job!

You should tell us the average price of gas in 2018.

Now do 2019 prices.

Have you thought about firing your social media team? You sure they aren’t working against you??

What else happened a year ago?

Oh, that’s right. Republicans think 2020 was great.

Oh, the President is the only factor controlling gas prices? Disrupted supply lines, fewer people working, greater demand that people are moving about more freely play no role? Quit trying to gaslight people.

Publix ran out of blue corn chips and my favorite dip. It’s Biden’s fault.

This is your periodic reminder that gas prices are set by the owners of the pumps, not the President of the United States.

Same old broken record, replayed. Your comms guy is really really bad. #Hartzlerlies #welfarequeenHartzler

You embarrass us again. Supply and demand. Pathetic

Do you really need a lesson on supply and demand or would you rather fess up to being another divisive, self-serving politician?

Supply and demand, moron

You are an embarrassment. Give us the avg price for all 4 years of the Trump Presidency.

You voted for the Insurrection and are a Traitor. Price of gas is a bullshit distraction Vick and you know it.

“A foolish consistency is the hobgobblin of little minds”:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): let’s pass the gas (May 27, 2012)

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): let’s pass the gas – part 2 (June 6, 2012)

Vicky Hartzler (r): What’s that? Did you say something? Apparently not. (October 29, 2012)

Thank goodness that Keystone pipeline is up and running (October 28, 2013)

Supply and demand, supply and demand (November 15, 2014)

Not that it ever was about the price of gasoline (January 6, 2015)

There are more.
