Congressman Buddy Carter told Fox Report this weekend what every patriotic American already fears: Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is choking global oil supplies and driving painful price spikes at the pump. Carter warned bluntly that Tehran simply cannot sustain this economic strangulation for long, and that Americans are already paying the price when they fill their tanks. This is real pain for hardworking families who deserve better leadership on energy and national security.
Make no mistake — these gas-price shocks are the direct result of years of poor energy policy and naïve diplomacy from those more interested in virtue signaling than keeping America secure. While the left lectures about emissions targets and subsidies, middle America is hollowing out their budgets to pay for gasoline and groceries, and voters will remember who refused to prioritize energy independence. Republicans like Carter are right to point out the political cost of inflated prices and to demand policies that restore American production and lower consumer bills.
Carter didn’t stop at foreign policy; he also pressed Georgia leaders to act on redistricting, insisting that political maps must be drawn without racial quotas or partisan gamesmanship. Conservatives should applaud his call for common-sense maps that respect voters and the Constitution rather than racial engineering. This is exactly the sort of state-level backbone we need as the left tries to weaponize every institution against tradition and local control.
Patriots know we must stand ready with a strong military while keeping every door open for genuine negotiation — but only from a position of strength. Carter and other GOP leaders are right to demand Iran come to the table or face sustained consequences, because weakness invites chaos and higher prices for American families. If Washington won’t act to secure our energy supplies and ports, voters must elect leaders who will put America first, protect our economy, and never apologize for defending our interests.
