Senator Lindsey Graham slammed President Biden’s recent response to the Colonial Pipeline attack which sparked a gas crisis across the East Coast, saying his comment was “the dumbest thing in the world.”

Earlier this week Biden and his Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that the gas shortage wouldn’t affect Americans if they simply drove electric cars. The out-of-touch statement rightfully infuriated the millions of Americans who drive gas-powered vehicles.

Fox News reports:

Granholm told White House reporters Tuesday that if you drive an electric car, fuel shortages “would not be affecting you, clearly.”

Graham also targeted President Biden’s lack of a firm plan to avoid future cybersecurity attacks.

“He should be saying we’re going to prevent this in the future, we’re going to have a national strategy to upgrade cybersecurity for critical infrastructure like financial services and energy,” Graham said, suggesting incentives for companies who comply.

The FBI said Monday that ransomware gang “Darkside” was responsible for the attack, with President Biden remarking that evidence shows the hackers’ ransomware is in Russia.

The Biden administration has prioritized eliminating gas-powered vehicles by 2040, a feat unlikely to be achieved. Since the Colonial Pipeline attack, Americans have seen spikes in already climbing gas prices and lines wrapped around the block just to fill their cars. Biden’s response? Just get a new car and don’t hold those responsible accountable for their actions leaving America open to another attack.
