‘The Pain Is The Point’: Energy Secretary Blasted After Saying Summer Gas Prices Were Going To Be ‘Rough’

President Joe Biden‘s Secretary of Energy lamented on Wednesday that high gas prices will be here throughout the summer, blaming forces beyond her control. Critics, however, say that the Biden administration is to blame for the rising cost of energy and that Democrats are driving up the cost of fuel on purpose.

CBS News’ Major Garrett asked Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm if she had any “calming or reassuring words” for Americans concerned about paying for gasoline. The secretary only reassured Americans that the cost of gas won’t be coming down anytime soon.
