John James Speaks Against Jennifer Granholm's Record as Energy Secretary

Published | Video Starts at 01:44

So we should be appalled but not surprised by the same malpractice, malfeasance, and mistreatment of the office that she assumes currently and has inflicted serious pain on the american people and jeopardizes our american independence moving forward. Since this administration took office, Madam speaker, we've gone from this energy independence to energy reliance on dictators and despots around the world. Secretary Granholm sold off our strategic petroleum reserves and sold out Americans and our national security. And all the worse. She went on television and laughed in our faces just before gas prices hit their peak. (01:44–01:53)

CLAIM
