Dem Rep. Connolly: It's Inconsistent for Biden to 'Stand Down' to Work with Saudis to Help Gas Prices, Keep Restrictions on U.S. Oil

On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "OutFront," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) argued that President Joe Biden has decided to "stand down" on his position on holding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and part of the reason for this change is the U.S. needing Saudi Arabia to boost oil production to bring down gas prices. Connolly added that if Biden is going to be consistent, he should be willing to also pull back restrictions on refining and drilling for oil in America.
