Fox News host Sean Hannity scolded Vice President Kamala Harris for urging Americans to buy electric cars amid soaring gas and oil prices.
“If she ever becomes president, we’re in deep schiff,” Hannity told viewers on Tuesday.
This week, Harris joined Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at an event marking the first anniversary of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, where she avoided any mention of harmful gas prices.

“Imagine the future, trucks that deliver bread and milk to our grocery store shelves, and buses that take kids to school and parents to work. Imagine all the heavy trucks that keep our supply lines going and keep our economy growing. “Imagine they produce zero emissions. Well, you imagined it all,” she said.
“That’s why we’re here today,” Harris added. “Because we have the opportunity to see what can be unburdened by what was, and then make the possible a reality.”
