McCarthy: Biden's CDC Changed Mask Rules Because 'Gas Went to $7' and They Needed to Change the News

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a Friday interview that the only reason the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased its masking rules for vaccinated Americans was to distract people from the skyrocketing gas prices.
The rising gas prices were in response to high fuel demand following the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline Company.
Colonial Pipeline Company operates the largest fuel pipeline in the United States — providing roughly half of all diesel and gasoline on the East Coast — and became aware of a cyberattack from hackers linked to a group called DarkSide last Friday, promptly shutting down its operations.
Because of the shutdown, there was a shortage of fuel at many gas stations along the Coast.
“You know the only reason why they changed not wearing the mask?” McCarthy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
“Gasoline went to $7 and there were gasoline lines and he wanted to change the news.”

The gas lines, energy crisis in the South East was very real and suppressed by the media as more shortage crisis-es was eroding what little credibility Biden had from the on going economic disasters and shortages bidens rule hath wrought in such a short time.
Thank a NeverTrumper swearing to us this is better than Trump in office. Clarity like you could see forever.
