Politifact is a joke and it's been that way for a while.[/quote]

Yep.  They twist in pretzels to give Democrats a true or mostly true rating.

These little tidbits from this story dispels the narrative:

However, gas prices were rising long before the Russian troop buildup around Ukraine became front-page news.

In mid-May 2020, gas prices sat at around $1.88 a gallon. By late January 2021, when President Donald Trump left office and Biden was sworn in, a gallon of gas had risen to about $2.39 a gallon, an increase of about 50 cents.

From Biden’s inauguration until early November, the price of gas continued to rise: It reached $3.39 in early November, or an increase of about another dollar.

I see you have forgotten about how the GOP let covid spread unchecked and tanked the economy. Don’t worry, President Biden cleaned up after Trumpy made a whoopsie of the economy. [/quote]

We see you refuse to acknowledge Biden's actions that caused the increase in gas prices to begin with.

[quote]On his first day in office, the president canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended new federal oil and gas leases. He followed those moves by hiking the drilling fees on federal land, mandating that all federal vehicles be zero emission and is considering shutting down a second pipeline from Canada, the L5.

None of this was a surprise. Biden bragged about his anti-energy campaign during the presidential campaign.

"No more drilling including offshore,” Biden said during a 2020 primary debate. “No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. It ends."

Actions have consequences; high gas prices are the predictable result.

After banning Russian oil, Biden hasn’t quite figured out how to replace it. In a little over a year, America went from energy independence to buying about 10 percent of our fuel from Putin.[/quote]
