How ton-deaf can Democrats really be? In their looney little world, if you can’t afford gas prices, you should just buy an electric vehicle!
On Tuesday, Democratic Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow said during a congressional hearing that ‘gas prices don’t matter to her because she drives an electric vehicle.’ And she later suggests Americans should buy ‘electric vehicles’ because old dementia Joe can’t do anything to lower the gas prices.
This out-of-touch Democrat, can’t simply understand a simple MATH…If I can’t afford skyrocketing gas prices, how could I afford a $60,000 electric vehicle?
Here’s what Stabenow said, insulting ordinary Americans who can’t afford electric vehicles:
“I drove it [her electric vehicle] from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station and it didn’t matter how high it was,”adding that she can’t wait for Americans to “move to vehicles that aren’t going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies.”
If you are in doubt if she really said that, just watch her here:

“On the issue of gas prices, I drove my electric vehicle from Michigan to here last weekend and went by every gas station and it didn’t matter how high it was.”

Greg Price pointed out in a comment on the video he shared, using the example of her home state of Michigan to show the cost of an electric vehicle to the average American, saying:
- The average cost of an electric car: $56,000
- Median household income in Michigan: $59,234

Trending Politics added a few details:
Because of that huge cost, the cost of gas matters to the average American even if it doesn’t matter to out-of-touch leftists like Senator Stabenow. Particularly, it matters because of how high it has gotten under Brandon, with Breitbart pointing out that it has hit yet another high, saying:
The Michigan Senator’s remarks came on the same day gas prices hit a record high for the tenth consecutive day. The average price of one gallon of gas is $4.91. However, Michigan’s average is more than 20 cents higher than the national average, at $5.17 per gallon, according to AAA.
Because of that, Stabenow was ripped for her comments on Twitter, with one particularly astute commenter saying “Let them buy Teslas!” in reference to the probably apocryphal Marie Antionette “let them eat cake” quote, which she supposedly said when told that her starving subjects couldn’t afford bread.

Folks online have some great reactions on Stabenow’s remarks:
Well @SenStabenow not everyone is making hundreds of thousands of dollars from their gov’t job AND god knows what other backdoor deals to be able to afford an EV. I’m so happy you can drive by those high prices and brush them off like a peasant standing in your way. #Eliteism

The artificial elites aren’t mistaken, crazy, or weak.
They just hate you.
