Dems turn to hostile dictators for oil production as gas prices tick up, GOP blame 'war on American energy'

President Biden and Democratic lawmakers doubled down on the importance of hostile actors boosting oil output Wednesday after a decision from a Saudi-led group to cut production. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the powerful Middle Eastern oil cartel, and its Russian counterpart announced a massive production cut of 2 million barrels of oil per day, the largest reduction since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.
In response, Democrats have unleashed their fury, noting the importance of oil production from the cartel comprised of dictators and hostile actors.

Fox & Friends Weekend were forced to make an on-air u-turn after learning about the hateful things Kanye West actually tweeted over the weekend.Initially, Will Cain, Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy supported West after it was revealed he was banned from Instagram for posts deemed “anti-semetic”.On Saturday (October 8) West shared a series of texts he’d exchanged with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs following Combs’ criticism of his ”White Lives Matter” t-shirt – a slogan tied to white supremacist movements. In one of those texts, West wrote to Diddy: “I’ma use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” Shortly after that, his Instagram account was restricted by Meta and posts were removed.“We’re in this weird era where people can’t just say what they want to say,” said Campos-Duffy, who had seen the post.

SEAN HANNITY: OPEC's decision to cut oil production is 'deeply humiliating' for Biden
Fox News host Sean Hannity reacted to OPEC's decision to cut oil production by 2M barrels a day on "Hannity." Biden has almost completely drained the supply. We're now at a 40-year-low. It is not a national emergency, Joe, that Democrats are likely to lose an election, so you artificially raise the world supply of oil in the lead up to an election to lower the price, to create a false perception that, oh, you've done something good.
