White House officials on Sunday defended President Joe Biden’s demanding gas stations “bring down the price” for a gallon amid widespread criticism.

“I think anybody that knows President Biden knows he’s plain-spoken and he tells exactly what he’s thinking in terms that everybody can understand,” former Pentagon spokesman and now National Security Council coordinator for the White House John Kirby told “Fox News Sunday” after he was shown a Twitter post from Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, who asserted that Biden was engaging in “misdirection” or has a “deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics.”
