While testifying before Congress about the war, Waltz was asked by Sara Jacobs D, California about gas prices because a month earlier on Face the Nation he had said we were back below 4 dollars a gallon and getting better and it would stay that way. She pointed out the average was 3 before the war, it's back over 4 now and going higher.
And Waltz responded to paraphrase,2 weeks over 4 is better than 2 years over 5 under the previous admin.
She pointed out prices have been high for 4 months now, and it wasn't ovr 5 for 2 years under Biden. Waltz refused to admit he was lying and doubled down on it.After he testified fact checkers confirmed the 5 dollar figure under Biden, caused by Russia, lasted for exactly 38 days.
