Byron Donalds (R-FL)<\/strong>: \u201cDid Biden seriously say he \u2018can\u2019t do much right now\u2019 to solve the skyrocketing gas prices?!? Putin has 99 problems but causing American gas prices to rise is NOT one of them. Biden needs to stop the gaslighting and roll back EVERY one of his destructive energy policies.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX)<\/strong>: \u201cTexans will NOT be fooled by Joe Biden\u2019s LIES! He could increase American energy production here at home to curb gas prices. Instead, he\u2019s pandering to a Venezuelan dictator to increase their oil production. WHY is he blocking energy production in places like Texas? Go home, Joe!\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS)<\/strong>: \u201cYou could begin by unleashing America\u2019s energy production. An announcement to restart the Keystone XL Pipeline would drop the price of oil tomorrow.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chris Barron<\/strong>, political strategist: \u201cHe\u2019s the f***ing President and his answer is he cant do much about it. I have an idea sparky, how about go back to your basement and give the Presidency to someone who can do something about it. What a total joke of a President. Worst ever.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Biden\u2019s remarks come as the national average price of gasoline set a new all-time record on Monday, blowing past the previous mark that was set more than a decade ago in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe national average price of gasoline in the U.S. today broke the existing record, rewriting the all-time high to today\u2019s $4.104 per gallon,\u201d GasBuddy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-u-s-national-average-price-of-gasoline-hits-new-all-time-record-high-report-says\">reported<\/a> on Monday. \u201cThe previous all-time high was set back in 2008 at $4.103 per gallon, just ahead of the U.S. Great Recession and housing crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GasBuddy, a platform that collects data on fuel prices to save consumers money, added that the price of diesel was \u201clikely to break the record of $4.846 per gallon in the next two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to setting a new all-time high, the national average is seeing its largest ever 7 day spike: 49.1 cents per gallon, eclipsing the 49.0 cent weekly rise after Hurricane Katrina in 2005,\u201d the company\u2019s statement continued. \u201cOn Saturday, the U.S. national average gas price surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time since 2008, and Friday\u2019s spike alone came close to the record daily rise of 18 cents per gallon, increasing nearly 16 cents per gallon in one day. Diesel prices, however, did break records on Friday, as diesel soared to its largest daily gain ever: 22.2 cents per gallon, 6 cents higher than the previous record from 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AAA\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday morning that the national average price for gas had risen to $4.173 per gallon.
