WATCH: Kamala Getting NAILED For These False Claims

Fox Business reports that on Wednesday, during a speech at Bowie State University in Maryland, Vice President Kamala Harris made a statement that wasn’t accurate about reduced heat and electric prices.

Harris said, “For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills, so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like school supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation.”.

Harris points to the Biden administration as the hero for providing Americans with lower energy bills in their homes even though energy prices are higher, not lower than normal.

The Republican National Committee responded quickly with a statement that gas and electricity costs were up. The RNC statement said, “What is she talking about? Electricity is up 11.9 percent, fuel oil is up 27.7 percent, and natural gas is up 26.7 percent over last year."

President Biden claimed a decline in fuel prices as recently as January, but record-high prices at the pump say otherwise. Republicans have pointed out that since Biden took office, families have felt a squeeze on their budgets. Tommy Pigott, RNC rapid response director, said, “Gas prices are up $1.03 a gallon from when Joe Biden took office. Biden’s administration continues to undermine American energy.” “Families have lost $2,250 paying higher energy costs since he took office."

Governor Gavin Newsom called for a special legislative session with an agenda to impose a tax on oil refiners in California, who he blames for the high energy prices the state is experiencing.

Harris also announced during her Bowie State University speech that all new Federal Housing Administration (FHA) homeowners mortgage insurance payments would be lowered by nearly 40 percent beginning March 20. Harris said, “And what this means is, on average, homeowners will pay at least $800 less a year on their mortgage, and that’s $800 more in your pocket."

Breitbart shared in their report current figures from the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which stated an increase in the cost of natural gas rose from December 2022 to January 2023 by 6.7 percent, and a 0.5 increase in electricity.
