Video: Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki gets upset because a reporter asked her when the laid off oil workers will get the green energy jobs that Biden had promised them

A reporter asked Jen Psaki when the laid off oil workers will get the green jobs that Biden had promised them.

Psaki refused to cite any specific date.

She even seems to be mad that the reporter would ask such a question.

I think it was a great question:

Fox News's Peter Doocy is back and he's brought the receipts on energy to Jen Psaki.

Needless to say, she didn't like that he pressed her on what's the plan for laid off workers to get these fantastical "green" jobs that Biden and Kerry keep talking about (1/2) pic.twitter.com/czz45M9tXK— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) February 8, 2021

Here is a blog post that I wrote about Democrats’ previous broken promises about green energy jobs.

"What? Well, um...we didn't actually really MEAN that when we promised it. You didn't know that?"

The question presumes the Biden regime took this into consideration and has an outlook that would provide this information.

Telling workers to “learn code” or “build solar panels” is what is irresponsible.

Biden is a leftard buffoon as is his entire socialist cabinet.

Peter Doocey asked a perfectly reasonable and valid question.

Are you under the impression that there will be a one-for-one trade-off between lost pipeline jobs and newly created green jobs? Seriously? If the premise is preposterous, so is the question.

You mean the @land mines” per VP Harris? These people are wicked, they really are. We’re talking about real people who need to feed real families, and these bastards don’t care if they have work or not

They see the lowly worker masses like the old Soviets did and the current Chinese Communists do. Expendable, sometimes aggravating, useful for cheering group photos with the communist leader smiling and raising his arm.

If too many demand worthwhile jobs and consumer goods for their families then many will "disappear." Hondurans and Chileans can be plugged in as replacements for them.

When are the Mine workers going to get their assignments as to which Mine Fields need de-mining?

Funny one.

That's the sort of land mine question that could blow up in their faces.

It's pretty wild that we're dealing with Communists who have nothing but contempt for the deplorable working class. They don't know any workers. They don't understand any workers. And they don't want to. Workers are surplus population. Can't we just get rid of them? Isn't that the best way to have a Communist paradise?

Her answer was "Why don't you come back tomorrow with your numbers of how many people lost their jobs..."

One would think the reporter would say "No, you're the government, not me. What was YOUR estimate of how many jobs would be lost by this executive order?"

Right. That is just something they say to pretend there is no downside to their policies

Didn’t know it was Peter. He is a good guy thought it was one of the run of the mill CNN reporters. Stopped watching the pressers long ago as with FOX.

Peter Doocey is not a rat reporter. He has been asking tough questions to Biden all through his campaign.


Yes, Peter Doocey is about the only reporter consistently asking tough questions. What I love about him is even though the questions are tough, he’s always polite and respectful. He’s the only reporter who asked Plugs last year about his new grandchild—you know, the one whose mother was a stripper and Hunter wouldn’t take a paternity test LMAO? He’s asked Plugs questions over and over again about coke-snorting pedophile Hunter Biden. Plugs got irritated one time and said to Peter, “You’re a one horse pony!” (another dementia moment on the campaign trail, fake news looks the other way)

The soviet workers motto. “At least I have job”.

What Doocy was doing was calling the Biden admin out on their hypocrisy and lie.

They promised green jobs...so where are they?

I'm sure Doocy understood the underlying premise of the debate and knew that no green jobs were going to materialize. Sometimes, direct questions that highlight the absurdity of the opposition's position are the best.

Kayleigh McEnany made it look so easy (and against a sea of seething, hostile deranged leftists who have no regard for people who disagree with them. Did I mention Acosta?)

This new one will alternate between tantrums, sullen pouting and then crying spells. Like any 14 year old.

Her peak was probably “What is it like working for a great man like President Biden every day?” and “How are the Biden dogs adjusting to their new lives?”

What’s preposterous and outrageous is how dismissive Plugs Biden is about the impact of his EO’s on American workers.

Plugs has said the jobs he’s killing will lead to new jobs for those who lost their jobs. That’s pretty much saying there IS a 1:1 for old vs new jobs, which we all know is a BIG FAT LIE.

But that’s what Plugs does best—HE LIES.

Green jobs will be created — but in China, not here.
