Washington, D.C. – Maggie Hassan has an awful voting record on American energy production and the gas tax. But now, she’s gaslighting Granite Staters with a statewide ad campaign touting a gas tax gimmick.
Hassan loves the gas tax. As Governor, she signed into law a massive 23% increase in the state gas tax!
Hassan also has one of the most anti-American energy voting records in the U.S. Senate.
Now, New Hampshire voters are catching on. Just take a look at the op-ed in yesterday’s Union Leader:
I JUST WATCHED Sen. Maggie Hassan’s latest political commercial in stunned disbelief. In the video she proposes giving us simple serfs a federal gas tax holiday while concurrently emptying our strategic oil reserves.
Does she believe that taking these actions will temporarily lower our gas prices that have doubled until after the election? This transparent ploy doesn’t fool Granite Staters.
Does she really believe that we will forget the rampant inflation, rising interest rates and crime, the out-of-control spending, the weak foreign policy and open borders, and the general incompetence of this congress and administration?
Instead of trying to lower gas prices to save us a few cents at the pump, maybe she should focus on securing our southern border. That could actually save American taxpayers billions of dollars and, more importantly, countless lives from the fentanyl, crime, disease, human trafficking and unvetted illegals streaming into our country across an open border.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Maggie Hassan has never met a gas tax she didn’t want to hike. Now ‘Tax Hike Hassan’ is gaslighting the people of New Hampshire. She may be comfortable completely ignoring her record, but voters aren’t. No one is buying this ad.”
