Journalisming: MSNBC Host Pretty Sure Rising Gas Prices Due to Russian-Saudi Plot to Elect Trump
In this episode of You Can't Make It Up, MSNBC Already Did...
With grocery prices steadily climbing, gas prices again on the rise, and overall inflation continuing to hammer tens of millions of Americans, the quasi-official Democrat media continue to pull out all the stops in their desperate attempt to prop up embattled Joe Biden and burn Donald Trump's campaign to the ground.
On Wednesday, MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle took home the trophy.
"The 11th Ruhle" host twisted herself into a ridiculous pretzel as she heroically (in hopelessly biased fashion) tried to absolve Biden of blame. Since Trump hasn't been in office for more than two years, she couldn't blame Trump.
But wait. Ruhle is no amateur. She decided she could blame those who (she thinks) want Trump to win in November. In this case, "those" are none other than Russia and Saudi Arabia. Yep, as Stephanie sees it, Russian dictator Putin and the oi-rich Saudis have concocted a plot to torpedo Biden and elect Trump.
Here's how Ruhle kicked off the festivities:
We know that inflation is driving Americans crazy. If you are unsure, just call your mother. For many, it is their biggest complaint right now and because President Biden is in the White House, he gets the blame.
Stop the tape. Translation: "None of this is Biden's fault, but because he's the president, he unfairly gets the blame." From a pretend journalist who'd cut Trump to shreds if he were president, of course.
Ruhle continued:
But over the last few months, one thing he has been pointing to is low gas prices. But unfortunately, if you look closer, recently, they have been steadily and quietly going up. Now, this is a common thing going into the summer. More people drive more. It pushes up demand. That is normal.
But there are other reasons as well. Ones that might be more deliberate, even political. Like Saudi Arabia and Russia continuing to cut oil production until June and remember when production is down, prices go up.
It gets better.
As Ruhle asked one of her guests, former Bernie Sanders adviser Chuck Rocha, what he thought, she answered her own question with the ridiculous Russia-Saudi plot idea.
Chuck, what do you think? These prices are not the fault of President Biden. Tim just laid it out, we’ve got the highest oil production in U.S. history and some overseas oil producers who would sure like to help DJT.
These people walk among us, gang.
Rocha took the blatant hypocrisy route in response.
Let me be clear that the Republicans know how to use this and will use this against Joe Biden. One of the most brilliant, small political things I saw done that was very, very powerful, last year, when I went to the pump, there was a sticker of Joe Biden with a finger pointing “I did that.” They were sticking it on gasoline pumps saying he’s the reason the gas pump was so high.
Coupla things, Chuck.
First, Biden and the Democrats continue to try to pin Biden's intentionally-caused illegal alien crisis on Trump. Second, Biden tried to blame his chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan on Trump. Third, Buck-Passing Biden, more than two years in the White House, tries to blame everything on Trump because his narcissism prohibits him from accepting responsibility for anything.
And don't even get me started on Biden's actions against drilling on federal lands.
So please, Chuck.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruhle is a fool. Hey— I made a rhyme.
