Rubio: Releasing oil from strategic reserves is 'dangerous'; not meant 'to bail out the president's party'
Fox News
Reacting to President Biden's decision to release more oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves, Sen. Marco Rubio called the move "dangerous" and "wrong."
"Well, he’s doing it to lower gas prices because he’s afraid of the impact. And unfortunately what’s happened now is our strategic reserve is at its lowest level, I believe since 1982 or ’83," Rubio said. "We have a strategic reserve for war, for in case of drastic emergency. It doesn’t exist to bail out the president’s party in an election year."
