On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain responded to criticisms by Republicans that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve should only be used for emergencies and that President Joe Biden is using it for political purposes by stating that he can't take Republicans seriously because "we had Republicans say, hey, he needs to do something about gas prices, and then we did something about gas prices, and they're, like, well, don't do that." And that Biden has been releasing from the reserve for the past year, which has lowered prices.
