Less Than 50 Days From The Election, Trump and House Republicans Think Record Gas Prices Are a “Very Inexpensive Price To Pay”

As gas prices near $4.50/gal and diesel prices record highs nearing $6.50/gal each day, Trump and House Republicans have a message for hardworking families: deal with it.

Trump again called the backbreaking price hikes a “very inexpensive price to pay,” despite continued pleas from Americans filling up their cars, tractors, and grocery carts to end the reckless war of choice in the Middle East and bring prices down.

REMINDER: Vulnerable House Republicans have said these costs are “absolutely worth it,” told Americans to “grow a stronger spine,” and dismissed the concerns of their constituents. 

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“House Republicans have spent the entire year rubberstamping Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran, and now American families are stuck paying more at the pump. No one in the GOP has the backbone to stand up to this Administration and their cowardice will cost them this election.”
