FACT CHECK: Gabe Evans Has No Plan To Lower Costs, Falsely Blames Coloradans for High Gas Prices
When asked how he’d overcome the challenges of lowering costs, Evans did not answer
COMMERCE CITY, CO– As Congressman Gabe Evans and Donald Trump continue to make Coloradans’ lives more and more unaffordable, Evans had the chance to explain how he would lower prices.
When asked by Colorado Public Radio, “how would you get past the challenges that have made it difficult to bring costs down?”, Evans did not answer. Instead, he again lied about the true cause of rising gas prices in the state.
The war in Iran has caused not just a nationwide, but global uptick in fuel costs. Congressman Gabe Evans is once again falsely blaming Coloradans for pain at the pump. Since the reckless conflict began last February, gas prices in Colorado have skyrocketed over $4 a gallon.
According to AAA Colorado, local and state regulations have little to do with soaring gas prices. Rather the staggering rise at the pump is due to the increase in crude oil prices, mainly impacted due to global factors – like Evans’ forever war in Iran.
Once again, Evans is trying to run away from his own record of giving his billionaire cronies tax cuts while making life miserable for farmers, food stamp recipients, and those seeking desperately needed health care. And still, he cannot answer how he would himself lower prices for working Coloradans.
