Donald Trump says gas prices skyrocketing is a small price to pay for his war against Iran. So we went to a gas station in Indiana, and people weren't happy. "He treats gas the same way as he treats American lives... 'Well, you know, some people are gonna have to die.'"

Minnesota GOP Senate candidate: " Look, we've all been told that the word affordability is key...  now here we are in a conflict in the Middle East, which is bringing gas prices up again. I know it's frustrating and I know it's hard for people... 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."
