CLAIM: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claimed on Friday that America is at war with Russia and therefore needs to “produce energy.”
Hoyer took to the House floor, disputing the Republican claim that the Biden administration has “clamped down” on domestic energy production. “It is unfortunate that in a time of war, that we spend all the time blaming our own president,” Hoyer said. “It is unfortunate that when the Europeans put themselves over the objections of numerous administrations in a place where they had a dependence on Russia, Russia has no leverage over us.”
