White House won’t name oil and gas companies it’s blaming for high prices

The White House declined to specifically name any oil and gas companies that President Biden blamed earlier Thursday for exploiting the rise in energy prices and lining the pockets of investors.

National Economic Council Director Brian Deese was asked during Thursday’s press briefing to identify what companies the Biden administration considers to be good actors or bad actors.

"I want to give you an opportunity, for Americans who want to do the patriotic thing, where should they be going to buy their gas right now?" the reporter asked. "Are there good companies that have worked with the administration and folks that you're frustrated with right now?"
