Blackburn Blames Gas Prices And Inflation On Biden

They've all got Biden Tourette syndrome.
By Heather — August 22, 2026

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who's hoping to become the next Governor of Tennessee, served up a big heaping helping of Biden Tourette syndrome when she was asked by Hannity guest host Kellyanne Conway about her party's message to voters for the midterms.

Never mind that Dear Leader just told everyone last week that he'll never apologize for the high prices he caused; Blackburn just straight up lied that he cares one iota about the economic damage he's causing with his tariffs and the illegal war with Iran and then tried blaming what's going on now on Biden and COVID.

CONWAY: And of course, it's not enough, Senator Blackburn, just to scream socialist, communist. We need to explain what we're for.

I think that you and President Trump and so many others in your party have given us that agenda. Make the case for all Republicans coming up in this midterm. How can we tell Americans about the security, the safety, the, certainly the prosperity, the opportunity for all? What's the message for the midterms?

BLACKBURN: Yes, and President Trump is delivering for the American people every day, working to get the price of a gallon of gas down, working to get the pound of ground beef down, working to make certain that inflation is reduced.

And whether you're talking about federal policies or a lot of the work we're focused on with the states, and I was talking to my friend John James today, who is our candidate for governor in Michigan, Kellyanne, President Trump is going to make the states great again because he is sending power and authority back to the states.

Health care, education, things we have, conservatives have said, it has no place in Washington. He is delivering on that agenda. We should be grateful.

Is it taking a while to get this turned around from what they did under Biden with COVID, with running up the cost of government? Yes, it is.

But you can bear in mind that passing that Big Beautiful Bill we were able to prevent a $4 trillion tax hike that the Democrats had planned, and deliver the largest tax cut for the American people ever.

No tax on Social Security for seniors or tips or overtime. Those are good things. It's more money in your pocket. That is what the American people in all Tennesseans want to see.

CONWAY: And it's got real people impact. People are feeling that. We see the numbers. We hear the stories. Senator and gubernatorial candidate, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, thank you.

As we discussed here, gas prices were just over $3 a gallon when Biden left office. They apparently believe most voters are dumb as rocks. They're probably right when it comes to the ones watching Fox.
