One of President Joe Biden’s advisors sparked controversy when he said that the administration’s goal is to protect the “liberal world order.”
Brian Deese was speaking to CNN anchor Victor Blackwell on Thursday when he made the comments.
“The military analysts, the Director of National Intelligence say this can be a long war measured in years. I think everybody understands why this is happening but is it sustainable? What do you say to those families who say, listen, we can’t afford to pay 4.85 a gallon for months, if not years. This is not sustainable, the anchor said.
“What we heard from the president today was about the stakes. This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm. But at the same time what I’d say to that family, to Americans across the country is, you have a present administration that is going to do everything in its power to blunt those price increases and bring those prices down.
“Good news, over the past two weeks, we’ve seen the price at the pump come down 20 cents but it is still unacceptably high. That’s why the president earlier this week was working to bring the G7 allies together around, exploring something around a price cap. To cap the price that can be paid for Russian oil. Which will actually target the pain more directly on Vladimir Putin and not on the rest of the world,” he said.

The comments sparked controversy on Twitter.
“The White House openly stated that you’re just going to have to pay more in gas so that they can hold the ‘liberal world order’ together and it barely registers as breaking news. They’re telling you EVERYTHING they plan to do and most don’t even care. WAKE UP!” Rep. Lauren Boebert said.

“They don’t care about you or the hardships they’re causing. They only care about forcing their utopian fantasies down your throat no matter the cost (or price of gasoline),” Knox County Tennessee Mayor Glenn Jacobs said.

“When White House advisors go on TV & say that we’re just going to have to keep paying high gas prices to keep the “liberal world order” intact, that’s when every American needs to wake up and start paying attention. This is not your standard Democrat. This is a globalist coup,” Congressional candidate JR Majewski said.

“Inflation is causing money to be tight for many people, especially senior citizens barely able to buy food. Sustained high gas prices are causing people to drives less because they can’t afford it. We will not be paying for Biden’s liberal world order. People are angry,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said.

“Anyone else notice how they don’t care about saying stuff like ‘liberal world order’ right out on television for everyone to hear anymore? They truly act like they don’t need our approval or out vote. Scary stuff,” congressional candidate Desi Cuellar.

“A liberal world order is a place where feelings replace facts and hopes replace realities. It may sound nice in theory, but it is actually an epic disaster,” author Carol Roth said.

I’m sure most ordinary Americans feel that preserving the “liberal world order” – whatever the hell that is – is worth paying $4.85 or more per gallon for gas in perpetuity. These people are so in touch. pic.twitter.com/b9xtvHgDut
