McConnell calls White House blaming Putin for record gas prices 'laugh-out-loud revisionist history'

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell described President Biden blaming soaring gas prices on Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'laugh-out-loud revisionist history'

"They're trying to rebrand the entire increase in gas prices on their watch – listen to this – as an effect of Putin’s recent invasion of Ukraine. So, they want to blame 14 months of gas price increases on the last two weeks of turmoil. Washington Democrats' war on domestic energy long predates Putin’s war on Ukraine." 

The U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday that the consumer price index, which analyzes the costs of goods and services across the economy, showed prices soar 7.9% year-over-year in February, the highest in the last four decades.
