A senior staffer a the Department of State is facing criticism after tweeting why he likes the high gas prices.
Senior State Department Foreign Service Officer Alan Eyre tweeted that he prefers high gas prices because it means less driving and less carbon emissions.
“I prefer high gas prices = less driving, less CO2,” Eyre tweeted.
Eyre, who describes himself as a “gov't bureaucrat,” was met with mounting backlash from former California congressional candidate Ron Bassilian who called him a “ghoul.”
“You're not only a ghoul, you're full of [poop emoji],” Bassilian tweet back to Eyre.
“Perhaps, but I don’t think it is inelastic and I remember in the 1970s the oil embargo led to a massive increase in renewables,” Eyre responded, along with the hashtag #BeKind, which has since been deleted.
It didn’t end there. Basilian took one more shot at the tone-death comment from Eyre.
“Be kind?…Perhaps be kind to the billions of people left high and dry in this situation you praise. Saying a famine is a good way to start a diet is not kind,” Bassilian tweeted back.
The tweet was in response to President Joe Biden claiming that American families are currently paying less per month for gasoline than they were during recent “peak prices.”
However, the average price of gas is still roughly $4.36 or more.
This compared to the average price for fuel being $2.17 in 2020 when President Donald Trump was still in office.
Twitter users slammed Eyre’s tweet, saying that he is “out of touch with everyday Americans.”
Another said “he is one of militia of Biden bureaucrats who continue to destroy this country with their insane antics.”

And they can take that BeKind hashtag and stick it up their ass.
Apologies to Marie Antoinette about whom I've read it speculated that she may not have even said that but went to the guillotine anyway.
The guillotine: Justice for We The People? The guillotine is not considered cruel for being as quick as a dropping heavy blade.
Unusual? Yeah, maybe. It wasn't unusual in France, though. Me dino does have some French in my DNA. So maybe I'm biased.
However, at the time the meaning of cake was ENTIRELY different.
In her time, a flour and water mixture was applied to the ovens when they were started. The ovens were ready for baking when this mixture was cooked. It was then scraped out and dumped in the streets. This was cake in that century. The poor did indeed eat cake. But it was not sweet.
I enjoy your posts SO much.
In these very difficult economic times I need laughter. And you provide it so well. Loved your rambling Biden confusion post 😕
I figured the “Let them eat cake.” moment would be in regards to food. But, here we are!
Kamala will be a nothing burger and we will have gridlock, which is good. She might even change the official national bird to the cackling chicken.
"A famine is a good way to start a diet." -- that retort is spot-on.
I once knew someone that insisted that the Cuban health care system is superior to that in the USA -- people are losing weight and that's a good thing! I had to remind her that people were losing weight as a result of a lack of food as well as the high prices.
Regarding the BeKind hashtag nonsense ... When conversing with a progressive that had the "Love is Love" bumper sticker, I retorted "Horse Sht is Horse Sht" The lovely lib replied "that's not nice!" These people are so damned shallow... of course, what can one expect from a child.
