US families should suffer high gas prices to protect 'the liberal world order', Biden's economic advisor Brian Deese says when asked what he would say to Americans who can't afford $4.85 a gallon
- 'What do you say to those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?' the advisor was asked
- 'This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm,' he replied
- 'You have a president and an administration that is going to do everything in its power to blunt those price increases and bring those prices down,' he added
- Republicans said Deese's comments prove the administration is out of touch
- Biden said on Thursday that drivers should be expected to pay 'premium' for gas prices for 'as long as it takes'
- The U.S. cut off all Russian gas after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, and the European Union followed suit, driving up gas and energy prices the world over
- After breaching $5 a gallon for the first time ever, gas prices have fallen back to an average of $4.84 as of Friday
Biden economic advisor Brian Deese said that Americans should 'stand firm' on paying record-high gas prices because the 'future of the liberal world order' is more important.
'What do you say to those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?' the director of the National Economic Council was asked on CNN Thursday.
'What you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes. This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm,' he replied.
