Democrats Seize On Iran War To Lie About Energy Costs

he New York Times recently ran a piece titled “Democrats Hammer Trump on ‘Energy Affordability’ as Iran War Continues.”

Our headline above is a more accurate description of what’s going on, because it is the Democrats –  not Donald Trump – who have been and still are waging war on affordable energy.

The fawning Times article is based on a report from “top Senate Democrats” that “accused the Trump administration of waging a ‘war on energy affordability’ by canceling hundreds of clean energy projects even before the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran — strikes which have sent energy costs higher.”

But the Times conveniently leaves out the facts, because those would bulldoze the Democrats’ talking points.

For example, Democrats and the mainstream press have been screaming about the price of crude oil since the attacks on Iran started. While oil prices did rise sharply, they are still well below the peaks they reached under Joe Biden — peaks that would have been higher still had Biden not been draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to hold them down. (The current price is also below where it was almost the entire time Barack Obama was president.)
