As North Carolina families pay record prices at the pump due to the Iran War and as Big Oil companies like Shell report “robust profits,” DC insider and Big Oil Lobbyist Michael Whatley is growing richer from his stocks in oil and gas companies after he cheered on the war.

لا يمكن أن يكون التباين أكثر وضوحاً: 

WRAL: “Gas prices have risen across the world […] the impact is being felt in the Triangle, where consumers are feeling the strain on their wallets.”

American Journal News: “With the help of the war, Whatley has profited by up to $219,660”

New York Times: “The oil giant’s earnings in the first three months of the year were more than double the previous quarter’s. […] its adjusted profit soared 24 percent, to $6.92 billion”

As Whatley profits at the expense of North Carolina families paying nearly 50% more for gas, Whatley is downplaying the war, calling it “not even a war” and suggesting American service members aren’t making a sacrifice – despite 13 troops killed and hundreds wounded.    

Whatley also cheered on Trump’s actions in Venezuela as he reaped up to “$63,000” in a single weekend from his investments in Big Oil companies.
