While recently speaking on the House floor, the California Republican reminisced about gas prices being an average of $2.53 a gallon just a year ago. He said there is a solution to bringing such glory days back by drilling in America again.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cRepublicans offered a bill last week that would approve the Keystone pipeline, fast track oil and gas production on federal lands and waters, and remove all hurdles to exporting American natural gas,\u201d McCarthy explained. \u201cAmerican people wondered what happened after that\u2026220 Democrats voted against it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Socialist Democrats think our nation\u2019s future is better off leaving our resources in the ground\u2014even if it requires us to beg for oil from Venezuela and batteries from China. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rBbzdFuEwU\">https:\/\/t.co\/rBbzdFuEwU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1501219721928077315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the potential future speaker, Democrats don\u2019t want Americans to have access to cheap energy as evidenced by their refusal to support GOP efforts to expand the country\u2019s oil production capacity. Meanwhile, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) also blasted the Biden administration while alleging the federal government is waging a \u201cwar on energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My Energy Freedom Act will unleash American energy and promote innovation! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uJCb1nNTLP\">pic.twitter.com\/uJCb1nNTLP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTedCruz\/status\/1501291441720643594?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In an interview Tuesday, Cruz said the administration would rather fund terrorism over American energy independence. He added, President Biden created the crisis the U.S. is facing. The senator recently introduced legislation that would restore American energy independence, but he said the White House has instead chosen to purchase oil from places like Iran and Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have long pushed for American energy independence while urging Biden to do more to ramp up oil domestic production.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-announces-ban-on-russian-oil-imports\/\">Biden Announces Ban On Russian Oil Imports<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) holds A news conference in the Capitol Visitors Center at the U.S. Capitol building on October 28, 2021 in Washington, DC.
