Usually, Aaron Rupar is busy editing videos to remove all context, which he does so consistently that it’s earned him his own entry in the Urban Dictionary, where “Rupar” is a verb describing just that. He’s up to something different Tuesday, though; he’s owned Sen. Ted Cruz by posting back-to-back tweets from Cruz to show how ignorant he is. Check it out — he’s even highlighted the good parts:
TED CRUZ: Biden needs to sanction Russian oil and gas
TED CRUZ: Biden doesn't care about gas prices

Here they are in case that gets cut off:
Putin funds his war machine and his invasion of Ukraine by selling oil and gas. Biden has imposed sanctions on Russia's Central Bank – but exempted oil and gas.
Biden needs to get serious about cutting off Putin's ability to wage war on our Ukrainian allies. pic.twitter.com/3J7ynPjUTf

President Biden and Biden-Harris officials are committed to appeasing the zealots in the Democratic Party. They don't care if gas hits $10 a gallon.
It's a price they're more than willing to have you pay. pic.twitter.com/gdV0td2Uuy

Maybe there’s some clue to be found in the chyron, “Biden’s war on American energy.”
Leftist hacks are confused. It’s not complicated—
Russia: BAD.
American energy & jobs: GOOD.
Biden has it backwards. https://t.co/KAhPG9mn8H

Maybe, just maybe,@tedcruz believes – gasp! – that America could abandon this climate change baloney and produce enough energy here at home to keep oil and gas prices low. https://t.co/OrluOoUJb3

Both Jen Psaki and Pete Buttigieg have confirmed that the Biden administration’s solution to high gas prices is for Americans to transition to green energy and electric cars. And you know what? They don’t care if gas hits $10 a gallon. If they did, they’d open the Keystone XL pipeline, allow drilling on federal land, and stop buying oil from Russia.

It is sad that people believe that these 2 things cannot be correct at the same time. They really believe most people are that damn stupid. https://t.co/E1sCUZbOki

In a shocker to no one who is literate, @atrupar is too dumb to understand that these tweets aren’t mutually exclusionary. https://t.co/iIAQudkAuS

Deputy National Security Advisor and Deputy NEC Director Daleep Singh just last week said that the sanctions as they stand aren’t designed to disrupt the flow of energy from Russia to the rest of the world. So what’s the point?
These idiots don’t realize we can supply our own energy needs. We were a net exporter of energy under the previous administration. Biden just shut it all down. https://t.co/9feoqQE3YM

If you had an IQ of >80, you would understand his point that we need to produce more energy (oil, gas) back home instead of importing from our enemies.
Bless your heart. https://t.co/wqOjYjOmba

It’s staggering how many of Rupar’s followers really think Cruz is contradicting himself here. And they all have “I stand with Ukraine” avatars while somehow arguing that the United States shouldn’t sanction Russian energy.
