Several House Republicans join pile-on that’s crushing Biden’s EV ‘savings’ tweet

http://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2023/01/30/several-house-republicans-join-pile-on-thats-crushing-bidens-ev-savings-tweet/

On Monday the @POTUS account attempted to highlight how President Biden is “helping” the middle class during this administration’s attempt to phase out fossil fuels by reminding everybody how much money they’ll purportedly save. The tone-deafness is super-strong with this one:

President Biden (@POTUS) United States government official ~ On my watch, the great American road trip is going to be fully electrified.

And now, through a tax credit, you can get up to $7,500 on a new electric vehicle.

There’s so much that’s mockworthy in that tweet, and some House Republicans have joined the pile-on.

Republican Rep. Jim Banks had this to say:

Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) ~ Joe Biden is bragging that the Democrats used your tax dollars to subsidize $80,000 new cars.

The middle class can’t afford that but apparently the Biden White House would like everybody to thank them anyway.

Rep. Andy Biggs was also unimpressed:

Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) ~ Biden’s solution to address historic gas prices is to purchase a $110,000+ electric Hummer.

The median household income in the United States is about $70,000.

Yeah, but you get a tax credit of $7,500! (Oh wait, maybe not… we’ll get to that in a second ...)

Rep. Ron Estes (@RepRonEstes) ~ Great example of an out-of-touch Green New Deal policy thrown into Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act last Congress. That vehicle costs about $100,000 – Kansas families dealing with rising prices shouldn't be forced to subsidize Americans buying any luxury EVs.

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (@GReschenthaler) ~
AMERICANS: We can't afford to fill up our gas tanks. Please help us.

Maybe the dealership would take a few dozen eggs in trade.

And about Biden’s tax credit promotion accompanied by that particular photo:

davidshepardson (@davidshepardson) ~ The GMC Hummer EV does not currently qualify for a $7,500 EV tax credit per @IRSnews.

(SUVs/trucks must be priced $80,000 or less)

That POTUS tweet is an all-around “FAIL” when it comes to promoting the Dems’ “green” agenda to the working class. Not that they’ll stop gaslighting about it.

This turd with dementia on full display doesn;t even know what time of day it is much less anything about costs for these POS's or time it takes to be able to recharge them.

Of course when you are playing with toys like this Hummer, which is really a stupid vehicle to put a battery in, and it costs you nothing to go and be a play baby, is it any wonder that this jerk gets ZERO respect from over half the entire country.

This guy needs to go to work and do something positive for the American citizens like open up the pipelines and drilling sites.. Get America exporting oil again and thriving..

I believe my dog could do a better job than Joe Biteme.
