What is she talking about?
During remarks on the Biden Administration’s efforts to lower costs for homebuyers at Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris made the claim that Biden has lowered electriity and heating bills; she was quickly blasted online.
Harris stated, “For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation.”
The official The RNC Twitter account provided a quick fact check of the statement, tweeting, “What is she talking about? Electricity is up 11.9%, fuel oil is up 27.7%, and natural gas is up 26.7% over last year.”

From Fox News:
Others claimed Harris was feeding Americans a line. Singer Placido Domingo Jr. couldn’t stay silent over the claim. He tweeted, “Nothing better than living in an alternate reality…”
Author Steve Tobak offered a blunt assessment of Kamala’s statement, tweeting, “Lying is the only thing Kamala ‘Word Salad’ Harris is good at.”
RNC rapid response director Tommy Pigott surmised, “Either Harris knows she is lying and doesn’t care, or is so completely out of touch she thinks this flat-out lie is true.”
New York City Council Republican Leader Joe Borelli asked, “Can anyone say their January bill was less than Jan 2022 or Jan 2021 or Jan 2020? Seriously.”

Conservative influencer David Wolfe wrote, “If her mouth is moving, she’s mumbling an unintelligible word salad of lies.”
Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., slammed Harris, tweeting, “At this point, does Kamala just like lying to the American people or is she really that detached from reality?”
The lawmaker added that electricity is up “11.9%” and that natural gas is “26.7%” more expensive.
