       TAMPA, Fla. – Americans feeling the price at the pump told Fox News that President Biden’s claim that he "can’t do much" about soaring gas prices does not add up.

       "That’s a bunch of bull," Chester from Kentucky said.

       Lynn, of South Dakota, told Fox News: "There has to be reserves here in the states, that they can release."

       During a gaggle with reporters in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday, President Biden was asked what he was going to do about rising gas prices.

       BIDEN: ‘CAN’T DO MUCH RIGHT NOW' TO LOWER SOARING GAS PRICES, ‘RUSSIA’S RESPONSIBLE'

       "Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible," Biden replied.

       Robert from Tampa disagreed with that assessment.

        

       "No, it has been going for some time now," Robert told Fox News. "Like inflation, it’s not something that happened in a couple of weeks."
