Rep. Susan Wild (PA-07) counters GOP re: gas prices. [View all]
- Congresswoman Susan Wild says the U.S. only imports 4% of its oil from Russia. She says the war in Ukraine has little to do with the current gas prices.
- "We are not as reliant on Russian oil as what's being portrayed by my GOP colleagues. And frankly if the price goes up it's because our domestic oil producers quite honestly aren't producing as much oil as they can and should," Wild said.
- Wild says 11.7 million barrels of oil are produced every day in the U.S., down from 13 million before the pandemic. She says Europe will be much harder hit by the war.

We Democrats need to quickly counter the GOP narratives regarding gas prices and inflation, or we're going to get pounded in Nov.
