As you may have heard, in a speech on Friday, Joe Biden promised to shut down coal plants “all across America.”
His reasoning? Biden claimed that coal plants “cost too much money.”
Now, according to The Blaze, West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin fired back at Biden on his plan to shut down coal plants – which would severely impact his home state of West Virginia.
“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” Manchin began his statement.
“Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all-in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure,” the Senator from West Virginia continued.
“It seems his positions change depending on the audience and the politics of the day,” he added. “Politicizing our nation’s energy policies would only bring higher prices and more pain for the American people.”
Manchin stressed, “Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me.”
“Being cavalier about the loss of coal jobs for men and women in West Virginia and across the country who literally put their lives on the line to help build and power this country is offensive and disgusting,” he said.
Manchin concluded by demanding an apology from Biden, “The President owes these incredible workers an immediate and public apology and it is time he learned a lesson that his words matter and have consequences.”
In response to Biden’s remarks, the White House attempted to do damage control by issuing a lengthy statement claiming that people are twisting Biden’s words, even though they are merely quoting him.
The statement reads in part, “The President’s remarks yesterday have been twisted to suggest a meaning that was not intended; he regrets it if anyone hearing these remarks took offense.”
We know exactly what Joe Biden said, and we can’t let the White House spin it any other way. Joe revealed the plan of the environmental communists to shut down coal plants all across America, devastating our coal energy sector and countless workers in places like West Virginia. Even Senator Manchin, a Democrat from a coal-dependent state, came out against Biden’s plan. The White House can try to clarify and cover up all they want, but we know the truth now. It’s time for Republican victory against this radical leftist agenda. We must protect our industries and American jobs. We must always stand with American energy independence. And we must ensure that Joe Biden’s dangerous plan for shutdowns never becomes a reality.

All one needs to do is read a true transcript of what byden said on Fri and will be able to tell what was said and the meaning behind it. The byden intends to shutter the coal fired power plants he even said that during the run up to the last election. Yeah byden even during his time as vp said many of the same things shut down the coal plants shut down the gas fired power plants eliminate all oil production, eliminate all gas production and force everyone to switch over to electric! Well if all the power plants were shut down there would not be enough power to turn a single light bulb on let alone the whole of the country. There would be a massive number of people die because of the policies that byden is pushing, he is and will be guilty of murder.
While I do not agree with most of what Biden does, I believe his opponents are guilty of omitting his complete comments on shutting down coal mines. As most disgenuous politicians are prone to do, the conservatives are cherry-picking Biden's comments on coal. I did not catch Biden's complete comments on shutting down coal but I believe he also provided some alternatives for those working in the coal industry. Like most of his fantasies, the alternatives are probably not realistic but are a part of his total demented vision but should be included in any discussion of shutting down coal. Any energy solution should be considered if it can provide a positive impact on 100% of the population.
People MUST take the words flowing out of the FISSURE of these DemoKKKrats at face value. WORDS HAVE MEANINGS that have been around for GENERATIONS. Just like the words IN OUR American Constitution! The WORDS MEAN what they say and SAY what they MEAN!!!!!!
