Sen. Dan Sullivan was appalled at how much it had cost him to fill up his pickup truck with gas in Anchorage, blaming the president of the United States for skyrocketing fuel prices that were crushing people across the country.

“Had it been fully empty it would have been $142 to fill up the tank of one truck. In America. Devastating to working families, but nobody’s being fooled. Nobody’s being fooled,” said Sullivan, appearing with other Republicans equally outraged at the price of gasoline.

Sullivan said it was entirely the president’s fault that oil prices had risen to more than $100 a barrel. It was the president’s fault that Sullivan had to pay $4.69 a gallon to fill up his truck.

To back up his claim that nobody was being fooled, Sullivan took a photo of a sticker pasted on an Anchorage gas pump that showed an image of the president and the words “I did that!”

All this happened exactly four years ago when gas prices rose sharply after Putin invaded Ukraine and world oil prices topped $100.

“Joe Biden. I did that! I did that! Alright? Nobody in America’s being fooled. This isn’t Putin. This is Biden,” said Sullivan on April 6, 2022.
