White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday fell apart when asked to explain why Joe Biden proposed a gimmicky gas tax holiday.
Biden called on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax until September, 2022.
“Today, I’m calling on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for the next 90 days through the busy summer season, busy travel season,” Biden said.
