Former vice president and presidential candidate Joe Biden told a crowd in Peterborough, New Hampshire over the weekend that if fossil fuel executives don't take accountability for helping to doom the environment, we should throw them in jail. See below.
In order to curb the rate of pollution, Biden explained, we need to hold fossil fuel executives "liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where there are underserved neighborhoods."
When they don't deliver, Biden offered, "put them in jail."
Some spectators noted his obliviousness. Surely he didn't forget that his son Hunter was on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company that was being investigated for corruption? I mean, it has been in the news lately.
"Does that include Hunter?" more than one social media user asked the former VP after his little speech.
Hunter's work on Burisma reportedly prompted President Trump to ask Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to "look into" the Bidens' relationship to Ukraine and to help root out corruption. A whistleblower, however, charged that Trump was acting on behalf of his own personal, political interests, because the investigation could adversely affect the campaign of one of his fiercest 2020 rivals. The whistleblower complaint prompted the Democrats' impeachment inquiry against Trump, and a few tense hearings and partisan votes later the House voted to impeach him on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is currently withholding those articles from the Senate.
Biden also borrowed a line from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to declare that if we don't stop using fossil fuels for energy, "we're all dead."
>>”Does that include Hunter?”
Lol, I’d love for him to go against Trump in the debates.
fossil fuel is not from fossils ,D’oh
Democrats’ best candidate is a guy with political Alzheimer’s. Go figure.
"Does that include Hunter?" more than one social media user asked the former VP after his little speech.
Depends on the definition of executive and, even though he did get that job, was he really running anything and... LOL.
Oblivious only in the sense that delivering is just what his fellow contestants do NOT want. His pals want the execs jailed for destroying muvver erf. He’d do better to keep up the heat on the TX gov about banning guns in churches again.
Hang in there, Joe.
We want Joe.
We want Joe.
We want Joe.
The Kavanaugh Method expands to the Private Sector.
Nothing will change until the GOP-e gets off its backside and stops this Anti-Constitutional weapon.
> “...particularly in those cases where there are underserved neighborhoods.” <
What does that even mean? It’s not the 1800s anymore, Joe. Every neighborhood in this country has access to water, heat, and electricity.
^ YES PLEASE
Best thing I heard recently:
Look at the pics of Virginia and everywhere the Civil War was in the 1860’s.......you will notice that things called trees are almost totally absent.
If it were not for fossil fuels, my dear so smart leftist friends - WE WOULD HAVE NO TREES!!!!
Wow
You had your hand in legislation for the last 40 years touching on all areas of “fossil fuels” and the pinnacle of your success will be jailing people when you become president?
Thank gawd for fascism...
Joe 2020...
Biden, along with The Burn and Lieawatha is a Senior Fascist.
He completely lost his train of thought, going from pollution to “underserved communities”, then glossed over it with “well, you know the deal”. And this is low pressure, friendly, softball, planted questions that he has practiced. Trump is going to eat him alive during debates. No way can the dems let that happen.
Translation:
If they don’t pay up cash to my Swiss account and the DNC accounts they need to be jailed. Quid Pro Quo, same-o, same-o
To be fair, the left wants everyone who doesn’t agree with them on everything disarmed, unemployed, dispossessed, and jailed.
Totalitarian politicians should be IN PRISON. Right Joe, Beto?
POS MOFOS
“Hang in there, Joe.”
Bump!
underserved neighborhoods.” <
that means Black or Hispanic. Its Democrat code speak!
Phew, those people behind groping Joe look absolutely miserable.
