Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) offered up a few choice words on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and joined a growing chorus of conservatives imploring President Biden to unleash the full potential of America’s energy production.
“So we want lower prices of course, but we also want to have secure energy supply and not rely on rogue parts of the world. So, my feeling is that they haven’t done enough — Europe or Biden’s Administration — to really hit Putin where it counts and that’s because they have been so weak on domestic energy,” DeSantis said. “So let’s get back to where we need to get back to.”
“This is a guy who’s basically an authoritarian gas station attendant with some legacy nuclear weapons from the old Soviet Union. Their whole society is hollowed out except for energy. If you want to hit him, hit him at the gas pump. Hit him with energy,” said DeSantis.
