‘Not because of Joe Biden!’ Senator loses it when Dem colleague falsely protects POTUS

Republican Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) blew a gasket during an Energy and Natural Resources committee meeting on Thursday about President Joe Biden’s administration policies that he said have “failed every American” regarding the price at the gas pump.
Barrasso initially made a statement explaining why he did not support the nomination of Laura Daniel-Davis as an Assistant Secretary of the Interior because she had “enthusiastically” supported the Biden administration’s “punishing energy policies.”
Democrat Sen. Angus King (D-Maine) pushed back on the Wyoming senator and dismissed the idea that gas prices could have anything to do with Biden’s policies because he had recently traveled to “Finland, Latvia, and Turkey” which apparently makes him an expert on gas prices. King said when he came home he found out that there were actually 105 countries that had higher gas prices than the United States.
“My only conclusion was: That Joe Biden guy really gets around it he’s increasing gas prices in South Korea and Finland and Latvia,” he said to Barrasso in a condescending voice, apparently ignoring the fact that Mexico is somehow able to sell gas for around a dollar less per gallon.
King continued by stating that “gas prices have gone down forty cents in about the last month.”
“Is that the Biden administration?” he questioned. “Does the Biden administration get to take credit for that or do they only get blamed when they go up?
