Michele Tafoya, a conservative political consultant running for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota, argued that Americans should buy less coffee if they are concerned about the price of gas during President Donald Trump's war in Iran.
During an interview this week, conservative radio host Todd Starnes asked Tafoya about Minnesota voters' concerns.
"Well, yeah, you know, look, we've all been told that the word affordability is key, and it is," the candidate replied. "And right now I would say, you know, look, we had gas prices at a five-year low, and we were really enjoying watching that. And now here we are in a conflict in the Middle East, which is bringing gas prices up again."
