DescriptionOn March 8, President Joseph Biden announced a ban on all U.S. importation of Russian oil and natural gas. Prior to the announcement, both Republican and Democratic members of Congress had called on Biden to impose this sanction. Ben Shapiro also called for this sanction, before criticizing Biden for enacting it.

During the March 3 edition of The Daily Wire’s The Ben Shapiro Show, Shapiro criticized Biden for not sanctioning Russian oil and natural gas. He called Biden a “coward” for not sanctioning Russian energy, and said higher gas prices would be a consequence of leadership that Biden feared inflicting on the American people.

Less than a week late on March 9, Shapiro accused Biden of sanctioning Russian energy imports purely as political gamesmanship. Shapiro said Biden enacted the sanctions “as an excuse so then he can blame Putin and Russia for gas prices.”
