Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka spoke with Fox News Digital on Tuesday about how some mainstream media and Democrats are shifting blame for inflation and gas price spikes from the on Russian President Vladimir Putin amid his invasion of Ukraine.
Under President Trump, the U.S. was energy independent, Tshibaka said -- adding that until the recent ban, President Biden's energy policies forced new reliance on the American adversary.
"I'm sitting in Nome, Alaska, today on the western edge of Alaska's coast, and we are essentially a border state to Russia," she said.
"About a year and a half ago, the United States was energy independent. We were getting all of our energy resources we needed right here at home and instead, on the very first day of his administration, Biden decided to start attacking Alaskans … shutting down our work, our industries, our families."
