Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

      My father ran me through it one day. It involves Al Gore proposal to sell carbon tax credits.

      I think this was such a repellent thought to oil companies that they scorched the very thoughts around it.

      Too bad about that election.
