Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sparred over rising gas prices during a Monday debate, with Sanders blaming corporate greed and Graham blaming President Joe Biden’s energy policies for the skyrocketing prices.
Sanders, the chairman of the Budget Committee, and Graham, the committee’s ranking member, met Monday for an hourlong debate in Boston moderated by Fox News host Bret Baier that was streamed on Fox Nation.
Both Sanders and Graham bemoaned the effect of high gas prices — the national average is at just over $5 a gallon, according to AAA — on the American consumer. But the two senators have very different views on the cause and solutions to the crisis.
