Kamala Harris is at it again, folks. The woman who catastrophically failed as Joe Biden's border czar and disappeared into political obscurity after their 2024 election humiliation is now crawling out of the woodwork to attack President Trump over rising gas prices. But Patriots remember exactly what she said when Americans were suffering under Biden's energy disasters.

Harris is now blasting Trump over surging fuel costs tied to escalating tensions with Iran, conveniently forgetting her own shameful 2022 remarks where she essentially told struggling American families that high gas prices were simply the "price to pay for democracy." The audacity is breathtaking, even for a politician as tone-deaf as Kamala.

"When Harris was part of the Biden regime that drove gas prices through the roof with their war on American energy, she had the nerve to lecture working families that their pain at the pump was somehow noble. Now she wants to blame Trump? Give me a break."

This is classic Democrat playbook material – create the crisis, blame Republicans when they inherit the mess, then attack them for dealing with the consequences. Harris was part of an administration that shut down pipelines, canceled drilling permits, and waged war on American energy independence from day one.

President Trump, meanwhile, has been working tirelessly to restore America's energy dominance and secure our borders – two things the Biden-Harris regime completely destroyed. While Trump deals with the Iranian threat that Biden's weakness emboldened, Harris sits on the sidelines throwing stones.

The American people see right through this desperate attempt at relevance. Harris had her chance to lead on energy policy and failed spectacularly. Her lecturing hardworking Americans about the "price of democracy" while they struggled to fill their tanks was one of the most out-of-touch moments in modern political history.

Now she wants credibility on gas prices? That ship sailed when she told Americans their suffering was somehow patriotic. The hypocrisy is stunning, but sadly not surprising from someone who built her entire career on political opportunism rather than genuine leadership.

This is exactly why we can't trust career politicians like Harris. She says whatever polls well at the moment, then completely flips when it's convenient for her campaign.

Couldn't agree more! They think we have short memories but we remember every flip-flop.

I'm paying $4.20 per gallon here in Texas and my delivery costs have doubled. How is bankrupting small businesses the 'price of democracy'?

These politicians have no clue what working families go through. Easy to flip-flop when you're not the one choosing between groceries and a full tank of gas.

When did she supposedly make this original comment about gas prices being the 'price to pay for democracy'? I want to share this with my liberal friends but need the source.

I believe it was during a press conference last spring, but don't quote me on the exact date.

Typical Democrat hypocrisy on full display!

She's polling terribly on the economy so now suddenly she cares about gas prices. We see right through this political theater!

Last month I spent $85 to fill up my SUV - that used to cost me $45 just two years ago. Meanwhile Harris is out here changing her tune because it's election season.
