In a rare moment of honesty from a California Democrat, San Jose Mayor and gubernatorial candidate Matt Mahan delivered a bombshell admission that his party's regulatory war on American energy is directly responsible for crushing gas prices that are bleeding working families dry.
Speaking on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour" Monday night, Mahan broke ranks with the radical left's green fantasy narrative and told the uncomfortable truth: "Our many rules and regulations, the fact that we pushed all of our refineries out of state" are driving gas prices through the roof.
Finally! A Democrat willing to admit what every hardworking American already knows – that California's virtue-signaling environmental extremism comes at the direct expense of families struggling to fill up their tanks.
The Green Agenda's Hidden Tax on American Families
This stunning confession exposes the dirty secret behind California's sky-high energy costs. While Democrats preach about "saving the planet," they've systematically destroyed domestic energy production through a maze of bureaucratic red tape that would make even the most seasoned Washington swamp creature blush.
Mahan's admission confirms what President Trump has been saying all along – America First energy policies create jobs, lower costs, and strengthen our national security. Meanwhile, the Democrat war on American energy leaves families choosing between filling up their gas tank or putting food on the table.
"The fact that we pushed all of our refineries out of state" – Mayor Matt Mahan, finally admitting the obvious
But here's the real question: If a Democratic gubernatorial candidate is willing to admit this inconvenient truth, why are his party leaders still doubling down on the same failed policies that are crushing American workers?
This is exactly why President Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill" agenda resonates with real Americans who care more about affordable energy than appeasing environmental extremists. Energy dominance means economic freedom – something California Democrats have forgotten in their rush to virtue signal to their wealthy coastal elite donors.
Will Mahan's rare moment of honesty wake up other Democrats, or will they continue sacrificing working families on the altar of their green ideology? The American people are watching – and they vote.
