Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was confronted Monday morning over high gas prices<\/a> under the Biden administration when criticizing President Donald Trump over “skyrocketing gas prices.”<\/p>\n

Jeffries remarked on gas prices while discussing Trump’s peace deal with Iran after months of war and hostilities on “Good Day New York<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“It was a reckless war of choice that has obviously cost the American people significantly, particularly as it relates to skyrocketing gas prices in an environment where the cost of living was already too high,” Jeffries said.<\/p>\n

After Jeffries emphasized the importance of “solving our own problems” in America, co-host Rosanna Scotto reminded him that former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden also saw high gas prices during their terms.<\/p>\n

“Gas prices were up under Obama too. And Biden, right?” Scotto said.<\/p>\n

While Jeffries attempted to answer, Scotto pressed, “Didn\u2019t we have gas prices over $5?”<\/p>\n

“Well, there were gas prices in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic situation…” Jeffries remarked.<\/p>\n

“And I remember eggs were like $12 a dozen,” Scotto said.<\/p>\n

Scotto then moved on to discuss the New York Knicks’ NBA championship win with the New York congressman.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Jeffries’ office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gas prices reached their highest recorded national average at $5.02 per gallon under Biden<\/a> in June 2022.<\/p>\n

At the time, members of the Democratic Party largely blamed the price surge on the aftermath of the COVID pandemic and the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, calling it “Putin’s price hike.”<\/a><\/p>\n
