As gas prices skyrocket across the U.S., pipeline worker Lynn Allen explained his thoughts while appearing on Fox News.
“I’m not surprised at all,” Allen said.
“Because everything that Biden’s touched or done — it’s a failure,” he continued.
“It ain’t nothing but a total failure,” he added. “We went from America first to America last.”
Allen’s comments came during an interview on “Fox & Friends First.”
The nation’s gas prices are the highest on average since 2014 at $3.38 per gallon.
This information was confirmed this week according to the American Automobile Association.
“Trump had it going on,” Allen said. “The thing about it is that we’ve got all these high prices of oil and gas, we’ve got drilling rigs stacked, we’ve got roustabout crews ready to go, we’ve got pipeline contractors with all of their equipment is stacked in the yards.”
‘And I can tell you right now, we can put America to work next week if we needed to.”

During a CNN town hall on Thursday, Biden came across as defeated on the issue of gas prices, and said there is not much action he can take to see prices fall before 2022.
“I don’t see anything that’s going to happen in the meantime that’s going to significantly reduce gas prices,” Biden said.
“A lot of Middle Eastern folks want to talk to me.”
“I’m not sure I’m going to talk to them,” he continued, “but the point is, it’s about gas production.”
If Biden wanted to be proactive about the issue — which is hurting the average American’s wallet severely — he would admit he made a mistake by halting federal oil and gas leases and canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline.
