JD Vance has said Americans should comfort themselves with the fact that allies are "suffering more than we are" from soaring gas and oil prices.

The worst and most stupid bit is this:

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

    I don’t need gas or oil to cycle.

    Well, technically, it really helps to have a teensy bit to lubricate your bicycle’s bearings. But that’s all.

      I use wax lube now (and really recommend it) except in winter, so even less so!

      Oh you said bearings, yes, definitely. Pre coffee mistake
