As we told you Monday evening, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm tried to spin gas prices that are back on the rise as being the fault of “international and climate events” (naturally Biden would have been credited if prices were still dropping).
The amount of the increases are of course regional:
12 states saw average #gasprices rise over 15c/gal from a week ago:
CO +28c/gal (Suncor refinery outage)
DE +24c
OH +21c
WV +18c
MD +17c
GA +17c
MS +16c
NM +16c
SC +16c
TN +16c
VA +16c
LA +15c— Patrick De Haan ⛽️📊 (@GasBuddyGuy) January 23, 2023
However, White House reporter April Ryan never misses an opportunity to bring race into everything, but her line of questioning was too ridiculous for even Granholm to entertain:

WATCH:
WATCH: Reporter April Ryan asks Energy Sec. Granholm repeated questions about gas price variance by region, clearly trying to drive a narrative that price fluctuations are somehow driven by race – a narrative so absurd that even ESG czar Granholm can't bring herself to agree: pic.twitter.com/hub81uwlBU

At least Ryan is still wearing a mask! Whew!
For once, Granholm isn't wrong – the varying prices *are* caused by differences in infrastructure…
What she neglects to mention is that her beloved ESG is largely to blame. It has stunted infrastructure growth in oil & gas, by redirecting capital away from the vital sector.

Yeah, this administration is “neglecting to blame” a lot of things. But they can rest easy in the knowledge that they still have a lib activist poorly disguised as a “journalist” trying to spin things in the Left’s direction.
@AprilDRyan is such a “one trick pony”🤡

Ryan has one approach and it’s so predictable.
