Biden administration 'took a chainsaw' to energy industry, global security: Dagen McDowell
Fox News
'The Five' panel reacted to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who laughed off oil supply concerns during an interview with Bloomberg.
McDowell fired back, saying the United States "controlled the price until you took a chainsaw - you and your liberal nuts - to one of our most valuable industries, and took a chainsaw to our global security. You handed power to nations that hate us. …And she can laugh about that, too."

"Is it too much to ask that the secretary of energy actually understands how the energy sector works and how energy production works?" McDowell asked. "Is it too much to ask for her to give at least a small, cold, damn about the suffering that all Americans are facing as they try to say, 'Oh, do I eat spaghetti for dinner? Or do I buy a steak because I've got to fill up my car tomorrow morning?'"
