ASSOCIATED PRESS: Americans’ confidence in US economy falls as Iran conflict sends gas prices higher
COLUMBUS, OHIO — Jon Husted has officially voted thirteen times to support the expensive and unnecessary war in Iran that has sent energy and food prices soaring for Ohioans.
Husted’s thirteenth vote comes as Americans’ confidence in the economy fell to new lows and gas prices in Ohio surged again. While Husted claims he wants the “war to end” and for “gas prices to come down,” he keeps voting to make everything more expensive.
Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:
“Jon Husted claims that he wants the Iran war to end, but just voted for the thirteenth time to support the endless conflict in the Middle East. Gas prices are surging again thanks to the Husted-backed war in Iran, and Ohio families are once again being forced to pay the price.”
While Husted keeps voting to make everything more expensive, he also can’t help himself from insulting hardworking Ohioans struggling because of his votes:
- Husted claimed just last month that the military operation “went very well” while admitting the war he supported “has put a strain on Americans.”
- When asked recently if he was okay with not knowing how long the war will last or how much taxpayer dollars will be spent, Husted replied, “it’s not really up to us.”
- When asked what he was doing to address rising gas prices for his constituents, Husted responded: “What do you want me to do?”
- When a truck driver asked about soaring diesel costs, Husted brushed him off and responded by asking if he was comfortable with Iran being a nuclear power.
- Jon Husted has claimed that he thinks the war is “good news for the global economy” and going “much better than anyone thought it would.”
- Jon Husted continues to insult struggling Ohioans as “not very experienced at navigating the real world” and consistently dismisses the mounting affordability crisis by telling Ohioans to fix their “work ethic” and to simply “earn more” money to make ends meet.
