"I know it's frustrating, and I know it's hard for people. What I would say to them is we've lost some service members over there who have put their lives on the line to protect us, to protect the region, protect America's friends in the region. We can all you know, it used to be during past wars, especially World War II, Americans got behind our servicemen and women, and we did little things to show our support for them."
"I think right now, at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip, maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further, until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again. Let's just try to be patriots about this. Whether you agree with it or not, we're there and we've got to support our men and women in uniform."
Michele Tafoya, a former NFL sideline reporter and Minnesota Senate candidate, appeared on The Todd Starnes Radio Show to discuss voter concerns, particularly rising gas prices. Gas prices have surged due to military conflicts targeting Middle Eastern energy infrastructure and Iran's restrictions on Strait of Hormuz passage. Tafoya encouraged Americans to demonstrate patriotism by minimizing unnecessary car trips, such as visits to Starbucks, to conserve fuel during the crisis. She drew parallels to World War II-era sacrifice, when Americans supported war efforts through rationing and recycling. Tafoya emphasized the importance of supporting military personnel deployed in the region, framing reduced consumption as a patriotic duty until gas prices stabilize.
