Hypocrisy: Kamala Harris Slammed Trump for Refilling Oil Reserves that Joe Biden Just Drained
Wendell Husebø 23 Nov 2021
Vice President Kamala Harris’s hypocrisy was on display Tuesday as President Joe Biden raided oil reserves despite her having slammed then-President Donald Trump in 2020 for refilling them.
“Absolutely unacceptable that Trump is prioritizing bailing out Big Oil companies while dragging his feet to support millions of unemployed people, workers, small businesses, and state and local governments,” Harris tweeted in 2020 during the pandemic.
Trump refilled the oil reserves during the pandemic when prices were three times less than Tuesday’s prices of $3.403, according to the AAA. The low prices were threatening American producers’ ability to compete with the deep pockets of OPEC, which have no interest in competing with American oil producers.

When Trump opened the SPR for storage, at an in-kind fee, oil had gone negative as contracts up for delivery had no place to go. In short, he got oil for the reserves for free, and like a businessman got more for some of the lowest prices in two decades.
But the question remaining, is why Biden is shipping this oil to China?
