Marjorie Taylor Greene, former Congresswoman from Georgia, reacted to the rise in gas prices in the United States in a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, attributing the increase to Donald Trump, the former President. In the video, she stands in front of a gas pump in California and clearly states the prices: $6.19 for regular gas, $6.47 for premium gas, and $6.75 for super gas.
Impact of the War in Iran on Prices
Greene mentioned the impact of the war in Iran on gas prices in the video, stating that this situation is unacceptable and "ridiculous." She explicitly stated that these price increases are related to Trump's policies and that people need to face this reality. According to her, the current gas prices have significantly affected people's daily lives and put them under financial pressure.

Response to Criticism and Political Stances
Greene's remarks come as many observers and economic analysts attribute the rise in gas prices to various factors, including foreign and domestic policies, fluctuations in the global market, and supply chain crises. However, Greene emphasizes that Trump should be held accountable for this situation. Her statements come amid tensions in the Middle East and increased demand for fuel during the summer season, which have also impacted prices.
Greene also advised people in the video to seek solutions to cope with these rising prices and urged the government to take actions to alleviate the pressure on consumers. She stressed that this situation requires an immediate and serious response from government officials.
