GOP Rebukes Biden’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve Sell-Off: Unserious Political Move to Distract from Failed Policies’

Katherine Hamilton23 Nov 20213

The White House announced Tuesday that President Joe Biden would release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to combat high gas prices — a move Republicans are largely castigating as a “political gimmick.”

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) tweeted:

Biden releasing 3 days worth of oil from our strategic reserve is an unserious political move to distract from his failed policies. That reserve is supposed to be for real emergencies—not political gimmicks. This could’ve been avoided if he hadn’t destroyed our energy industry.

“Joe Biden cut U.S. oil production, canceled pipelines, and now he’s selling off the Strategic Petroleum Reserve—meant for emergencies—because of his low poll numbers,” he said. “More incompetence from the Biden White House.”

House Minority Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said America would be better off if Biden had “simply done nothing since Day 1,” adding that a “one-party rule has decimated American energy production and jobs.”

“The real solution to your energy crisis is to let America produce the energy we have and need,” he said.

Exactly

Other countries are doing the same. Perhaps the underlying motive is to convince everyone to go electric and do away with oil all together.

Trump Slams Biden's 'Attack' on Strategic Petroleum Reserve That 'I Filled'

As gasoline and heating oil prices continue to rise, the White House on Tuesday announced that President Joe Biden will release 50 million barrels of oil from the 714-million-barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which may lower fuel prices just a little for a short time.

Jared Bernstein, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told CNN on Tuesday, "This is Joe Biden doing what he said he would do, using every tool at his disposal to help the American consumer get through this period where production isn't quite up to demand."

But former President Donald Trump, who returned the Petroleum Reserve to full capacity, issued a statement condemning the move:

"For decades our Country’s very important Strategic Oil Reserves were low or virtually empty in that no President wanted to pay the price of filling them up. I filled them up three years ago, right to the top, when oil prices were very low," Trump said:

    Those reserves are meant to be used for serious emergencies, like war, and nothing else. Now I understand that Joe Biden will be announcing an “attack” on the newly brimming Strategic Oil Reserves so that he could get the close to record-setting high oil prices artificially lowered.

    We were energy independent one year ago, now we are at the mercy of OPEC, gasoline is selling for $7 in parts of California, going up all over the Country, and they are taking oil from our Strategic Reserves. Is this any way to run a Country?

LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!!!

Manchin slams Biden for tapping strategic oil reserve while pushing ‘short-sighted’ energy policies

The Democratic chairman of the Senate Energy Committee criticized President Biden for tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on Tuesday while pushing “short-sighted” energy policies that were contributing to the skyrocketing price of gasoline.

Sen. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat, said the move amounted to little more than a short-term fix to a larger problem stemming directly from the White House itself.

“Today’s release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an important policy band-aid for rising gas prices but does not solve the self-inflicted wound that shortsighted energy policy is having on our nation,” Mr. Manchin said.

“Historic inflation, taxes and the lack of a comprehensive all-of-the-above energy policy pose a clear and present threat to America’s economic and energy security that can no longer be ignored,” he said.............
