Ron DeSantis called on President Joe Biden to \u201ctake some responsibility\u201d for soaring gas prices at a Thursday press conference.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis argued the administration should lift the \u201croadblocks\u201d that are preventing the U.S. from being energy independent, starting by building pipelines and beginning to \u201cdouble down on American energy.\u201d He argued shifting to solar energy is \u201cnot enough\u201d to power the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to start putting the people first over the ideology of the ruling class and the governing elites,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The governor criticized Biden\u2019s Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/15\/joe-biden-oil-companies-letter-refining-capacity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter<\/a> to seven major oil companies demanding they increase their refinery capacity in order to ramp up production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe inherited a situation that was much better. He\u2019s made it a lot worse. But he\u2019s now complaining about the refining capacity, you can\u2019t get a refining capacity permit if you wanted to expand capacity. And when you say you\u2019re going to shut down the industry, who\u2019s going to put capital down to want to expand there when you know the federal government\u2019s gonna try to kneecap you right out of the starting block? He needs to reverse course here, I don\u2019t think he will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATCH LIVE | Gov. DeSantis holds news conference at airboat tour company\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KWr1pOUdsDs\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He argued that the \u201cAmerican people are paying the price\u201d for soaring gas prices, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/09\/gas-prices-5-dollars-gallon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exceeded<\/a> a national average of $5 per gallon. He then criticized the administration for reportedly downplaying the Consumer Price Index (CPI) <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/10\/consumer-price-index-highest-1981\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rising<\/a> 8.6% in May. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/02\/ron-desantis-biden-excuses-low-approval-ratings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: DeSantis Says Biden \u2018Is Trying To Make Excuses\u2019 For His Low Approval Ratings)\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get such a kick out them saying inflation was 8.6%. That was not a good number but it\u2019s much higher when you look at the things that really count in somebody\u2019s everyday life,\u201d the governor said. \u201cWhen you look at the gasoline, when you look at groceries, when you look at utilities. All those different things have gone up way more than 8.6% and the things that have gone up less than that are things that really aren\u2019t as essential as things that really make a significant impact on people\u2019s daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to take responsibility. He\u2019s always trying to blame other people, he\u2019s always trying to create a scapegoat,\u201d he continued. \u201cI guess his position is that it wasn\u2019t until he became president that oil companies are trying to make profits, like they\u2019re gouging now. They weren\u2019t doing that for the last 25 years, all of a sudden just now they\u2019re doing that? It\u2019s insulting to the average citizen to listen to some of this drivel coming out of the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He vowed not to allow the White House to \u201cget away\u201d with creating a \u201cboogieman\u201d to blame the continually worsening inflation rates and gas prices on and \u201chold him accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Florida Gov.
