Fox Business risks wrath of Trump as they share damning revelation about gas prices

Even Fox Business couldn't sugarcoat the rising gas prices in the U.S. over Labor Day weekend. Cheryl Casone, a news anchor with Fox Business, sat down with Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa) to talk about the record-setting gas prices. The cost of fuel hit an all-time high for Labor Day weekend, with a national average of $4.15 for regular grade, $5.02 for premium grade, and $5.90 for diesel, according to AAA. Both admitted the situation wasn't ideal for Americans. This comes as Casone made an awkward on-air blunder after replacing Maria Bartiromo following her surprise departure from Mornings with Maria. • Dolly Parton's rules for 'open' marriage with husband Carl Dean revealed • CNN's Kaitlan Collins exposes Donald Trump's 'pathetic' new gadget in Oval Office 'We did see gas prices at a record high for the Labor Day weekend,' Casone said. 'This is from AAA: $4.15 for an average gallon of regular. This does shatter the previous record of $3.82 back in 2012.' She added that the midterm elections are less than two months away, and affordability remains a major concern for Americans. Casone turned to Meuser, asking his thoughts on how high gas prices may impact the election results, and how Republicans can shape the narrative. 'Well, it's certainly not a positive situation when it comes to gas prices,' Meuser said. 'My constituents and most of America really want us to finish the job in Iran, which will help bring down gas prices, will bring down fertilizer prices, and we can stabilize the affordability factor.' He then instituted a tactic that many Republicans have deployed since President Donald Trump took office – blaming former President Joe Biden. 'The American people remember Biden administration caused an over 20% accumulative inflation,' he said. 'Under President Trump, it's about 3.4%.' He did note the war 'needs to be wrapped up,' continuing, 'We do have to own it.' Meuser added he thinks prices will come down in the next month as the 'straits are opening up' and 'we're looking to finish the job in Iran.' The clip was posted by independent journalist Aaron Rupar on X, and viewers replied with their frustrations over rising prices. 'Yeah Trump has been in power for 20 months but yeah Biden,' one said. Another wrote, 'This blame game is not only nonsensical, but these endless comments about 'Biden/inflation' are also baseless and often outright lies.' A third added, 'Playing the Biden card two years after the fact…' Over 40 million Americans were expected to be traveling by car over the Labor Day weekend, which proved to be costly for many. California has the country's highest average gas prices at $5.78 per gallon, followed by Washington at $5.47, Hawaii at $5.41, Oregon at $4.98, Alaska at $4.96, Nevada at $4.91, Idaho at $4.62, Arizona at $4.52, Utah at $4.42, and Montana at $4.38. Meanwhile, Indiana has the nation's lowest average gas price, at $3.44 per gallon. It is followed by Texas at $3.69, Oklahoma and Mississippi at $3.71, Louisiana at $3.75, Arkansas at $3.77, South Carolina and Kansas at $3.78, Alabama at $3.79, and Wisconsin at $3.80. Experts say the main cause for the soaring costs is the war in Iran. 'Everything points to the Iran War and the Strait of Hormuz,' Tom Seng, a professor of energy finance at Texas Christian University, said.
