Americans just don\u2019t buy that this is related to the war in Ukraine, and most of it, frankly, is not. 41% say it\u2019s Biden\u2019s policies, just 24% say the war in Ukraine. 24% also say the oil and gas companies are raising prices. But the White House is trying to do both, blame Putin, blame the oil and gas companies, but Americans just don\u2019t agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to blaming Putin, President Joe Biden and others in his administration have <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/deliberate-effort-to-mislead-the-public-psaki-hit-for-comments-on-unused-drilling-permits-as-gas-prices-skyrocket\/\">attempted to blame<\/a>\u00a0the rising gas prices on the oil companies themselves, claiming that many of them are sitting on thousands of unused land leases and allowing prices to rise for the American people while continuing to draw record profits for themselves and for their shareholders.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
