Oil pipeline welder nails it.
[Breitbart] A former Keystone XL Pipeline welder recently blasted Democrat President Joe Biden’s intent to cut gas and energy prices before the midterm elections.

"I don’t know how he gets away with keep saying that he doesn’t have anything to do with [high gas prices] when they’ve got everything to do with it," Neal Crabtree said during an interview this week with Fox Business.

Crabtree previously worked on the Keystone XL project and was among hundreds of others laid off after the president took office.

Biden canceled the federal permit for the pipeline that would have brought vast amounts of oil on a daily basis from Canada down to the state of Texas. The move was meant to prioritize clean energy over fossil fuels.

Workers in his industry saw their hours cut significantly while some lost health insurance and are not receiving retirement benefits. Others had to look for another career altogether, according to Crabtree.

"When you’re 40, or 45 years old, starting over ain’t the easiest thing to do. You spent all your time building your skill set and then all of a sudden you’re making a minimum wage. It can change your life," he noted.

#2 The people continue to believe the Dems have nothing to do with the energy price increases because all they hear through the media is that they had nothing to do with the price increases (it’s the greedy oil companies.)
