Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)<\/strong>: \u201cFairy dust and unicorns\u2026can you imagine what the real world looks like through their eyes? Good Lord.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kaylee McGhee White<\/strong>, columnist: \u201cOnce again: They do not care whether you can afford to fill your tank. They literally see this as a way to push their crazy climate agenda.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chuck Ross<\/strong>, reporter: \u201cNYT recently reported that Hunter Biden\u2019s firm helped broker a deal for China to buy the world\u2019s largest deposit of cobalt, which is used to make electric car batteries.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noah Rotham<\/strong>, political commentator: \u201cThis is insulting. Our politics would be markedly improved if our elected representatives and their consultants didn\u2019t operate under the assumption that you\u2019re an idiot.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comfortably Smug<\/strong>: \u201cOk. The entry level model is 50% more than the median American income.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX)<\/strong>: \u201cIt is laughable how out of touch this Administration is with everyday Americans. My constituents don\u2019t want the Green New Deal, they want lower gas prices.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN)<\/strong>: \u201cPresident Biden and his liberal staff are shamelessly out-of-touch with Americans. Buying a Tesla to offset the #Bidenflation gas price spike isn\u2019t a simple option for most working families.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caleb Hull<\/strong>, digital strategist: \u201cExcept, ya know, how we use fossil fuels to build literally everything involved in putting together an electric car lmao.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO)<\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s INSANE how out of touch Joe Biden is with working-class families. This administration will do everything it can to put the needs of wealthy environmentalists ahead of the hardworking Missouri families who are feeling pain at the pump. Unacceptable!\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL)<\/strong>: \u201cDid @StephenAtHome gain access to the White House Twitter account? Translation: \u2018Hey working-class America, we don\u2019t care about rising gas prices. Maybe now you\u2019ll realize it\u2019s time to purchase a $60K electric vehicle.\u2019 Democrats want to destroy middle America into submission.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tim Alberta<\/strong>, reporter: \u201cWe will *always* have to worry about gas prices. Oil is the world\u2019s most essential commodity. It powers the mass movement of people &#038; goods across the globe.
