Jean-Pierre made the comment during the White House daily press briefing in response to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who asked why the Biden administration is "now considering shutting down the Line 5 pipeline from Canada to Michigan" while oil and gas prices continue to skyrocket.
"So, Peter, that is inaccurate," Jean-Pierre fired back. "That is not right. So any reporting indicating that some decision has been made, again, is not accurate."
"What’s inaccurate?" Doocy asked.
"The reporting about us wanting to shut down the Line 5," Jean-Pierre responded.
"I didn’t say ‘wanting,’" Doocy said. "I said, is it being studied right now? Is the administration studying the impact of shutting down the Line 5?
"Yes, we are. We are," Jean-Pierre replied. "I thought you were saying that we were going to shut it down, but that is not inaccurate. The Army Corps of Engineers is preparing an environmental impact to look through this."
Line 5 is part of a network that moves crude oil and other petroleum products from western Canada, transporting about 540,000 barrels per day. Petroleum is taken from the pipeline in Escanaba, Michigan.
Politico originally reported Sunday that the Biden administration was weighing the potential market consequences of shutting down the pipeline. The report has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers in Congress, and more than a dozen sent a letter to Biden on Nov. 4 warning against such a move as gas prices surge 50%.

WH: Don’t worry. We’re not DOING it. Just seeing what would happen IF we did it.
Could Brandon please keep the lies straight, it gets confusing.
They aren’t shutting it down, they are just not going to let anything flow thru it.
The Marxist/Obama cabal that runs the corrupt, demented Biden is doubling down on its agenda. Whether it be open borders, huge cash settlements for migrants or destroying fossil fuel energy supplies, they are going all out regardless of political or monetary cost. Its now or never for them. In their mind they will do as much damage as possible to America while they have power. Biden himself is a clueless ,complete puppet.
Now Governess Witless is attempting to get the current Energy Secretary, and our former Governess Laughing Jennifer Granholm, to do her dirty work for her.

Even Biden is having trouble believing that his puppeteers want him to do these things.
We are occupied by a hostile tyranny.
Biden is just a Quisling.
Peter Doocy is one of the only people allowed in that room who is doing their job even minimally. Even the most friendly of reporters should be asking questions like his.
“Petroleum is taken from the pipeline in Escanaba, Michigan.”
