An American senator commenting on the price of gasoline: It is cheaper to buy cocaine

US Senator John F. Kennedy said that in the state of Louisiana, gasoline has become so expensive that it has become less expensive to buy cocaine.

The representative of the Republican opposition, according to "Fox" network, criticized US President Joe Biden, for his inability to adapt to the rise in fuel prices, which updates historical record highs on an almost daily basis.

"In my state, the price of gasoline is so high that it would be cheaper to buy cocaine and run everywhere," Kennedy said.

Gasoline prices in Louisiana, the center of the US oil refining industry, are among the cheapest in the United States.

On Wednesday, its state price was $4,495 per gallon (3,785 liters), versus the national average of $4,955.
