Democrats were quiet when the Biden administration announced a purchase of millions of barrels of oil for the strategic reserves despite attacking Trump for trying to do the same.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., didn't criticize President Biden's Department of Energy for a massive oil purchase to help replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve despite slamming former President Trump in 2020 for attempting to include a similar purchase in a stimulus package. The DOE announced a purchase of 4.65 million barrels of oil Monday to replenish the SPR, which has been tapped by the Biden administration, to assist with high gas prices.
Schumer's office did not provide comment to Fox News Digital when asked if there was a difference between Trump and Biden's oil purchases for the SPR and whether the president was similarly 'bailing out' large oil companies. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Trump's administration sought to include $3 billion for purchasing oil to replenish the SPR at a low price in the $2 trillion pandemic stimulus package.
