Chuck Schumer Blames Big Oil Companies for High Gas Prices, Call on DoJ to Investigate Them

‘A recent report showed they are among the biggest perpetrators a stock buybacks’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "All right. Well, today we're here to discuss a tale as old as time. You've heard it before. Big oil companies basking in record profits, while hard- working Americans feel the pinch of high prices at the pump. Instead of working to lower gas prices for Americans ahead of a busy Memorial Day weekend, big oil company executives are huddling to find ways to keep prices high and keep their profits soaring. And one of the ways big oil companies spend their time these days is cozying up to Donald Trump, who as we all know is no enemy to big oil. 'The Washington Post' account was extremely disturbing. It's a doozy. Donald Trump holds a meeting with the big oil executives at Mar-a-Lago, and he promises big oil executives, he'll gut the Democrats clean energy wins in exchange for a billion dollars for his reelection efforts. That is sickening. And It's sickening that Donald Trump would do it and then he's proud of it. He's proud of ruining our planet, and helping these big oil companies.”
