Emerging story

On the evening of May 10, Twitter user Greg Suskin tweeted out a video of a packed gas station in South Carolina, where allegedly the station had run out of gas. Jack Posobiec, a far-right activist and host on the One America News Network (OANN), retweeted the video. Posobiec then retweeted another video of a long line of cars waiting to get into a gas station in Myrtle Beach, SC, with the caption: This is Joe Biden's America. 

Both videos quickly picked up momentum with other Twitter users decrying "Joe Biden's America," and accused the new president's policies on fossil fuels of being the driver behind the price hikes and shortages.
