It's not rhetoric. It's propaganda, conspiracy theories, and flat out lies. Certain extremists are using the Pipeline hack as justification to stir the pot - not just stir it, but add incendiaries and light the brew on fire and watch the explosion.
Not only are we not running out of gas, but we have lots that just can't be moved at the moment because of the pipeline hack. The gas is right there. And they're getting it out to the states it normally gets to, but the process is slower at the moment while they investigate the hack.
Meanwhile, Florida continues to be served exactly as they have been served all along. But idiots in Florida are believing the propaganda and conspiracy nonsense (go ahead, tell me that shocks and surprises you, I dare ya)...and hoarding all the gas they can get. Plastic gas containers are selling out at Lowes and Home Depot.
And just like the toilet paper stupidity, the hoarders will happily sell you their 5-gallon container of gas - for $200.
