President of the U.S. Oil and Gas Association Tim Stewart referred to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as "Baghdad Barbie" for saying that the Biden administration is taking steps to lower gas prices.
"She's just sort of a Baghdad Barbie, isn't she?" Stewart said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "So I think our response is, 'Yeah. You show us that list of the actions you're taking to lower gas prices, and we'll show you our list of things that you have taken to increase gasoline prices.'"
Two of the major criticisms of the Biden administration have been high inflation and high gas prices, with gas being as much as $5.35 in states like California according to AAA.
Stewart said that an example of the administration's policies increasing gas prices was canceling the oil and gas leases in a federal wildlife refuge in Alaska.
"The irony was when she said that about lowering gas prices, the Department of Interior was in turn canceling all of those Alaska oil and gas leases," Stewart said. "There's a vast disconnect between what they say in those White House press briefings about energy and what the reality actually is."
