Concha rips Biden amid surging gas prices, inflation: 'Self-inflicted wounds'

Fox News contributor Joe Concha joined 'The Faulkner Focus' to discuss how the White House has handled inflation and caused consumer prices to spike.

The owner of a gas station in Minnesota wants customers to know he is also frustrated with the country’s record-high prices.

"We hate our gas prices too," read a sign posted outside a Marathon gas station in St. Paul, WCCO-TV reported.

Chuck Graff, the owner, told the outlet he wanted customers to know they were not the only ones feeling the "pain at the pump" as the national average gas price recently topped $5 per gallon for the first time.

While still below the national average, the price of gas in Minnesota has seen a new record-high for 11 days in a row and now sits at $4.76, the highest ever recorded average price for the state, according to the AAA motorist group.
