Hey, so remember that time the other day when President Joe Biden promised that “we’re gonna be shutting these [coal] plants down all across America”?

VIDEO AT LINK...............

Remember how the following day, Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted — quite poorly — to walk Biden’s remarks back? She claimed that his remarks had “been twisted” by people with bad intentions, and that he was really and truly and sincerely sorry if anyone took his comments to mean that he was promising to shut down coal plants when he said he’d shut down coal plants. “I apologize if you were offended,” basically.

Ironic that Karine Jean-Pierre would accuse others of twisting the president’s words while she twisted herself into an intellectual pretzel.

Anyway, today, she once again insisted that Biden’s remarks had been “twisted.”

Karine Jean-Pierre again denies that Biden wants to shut down coal power plants after he literally said "we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America."

"These weren't some novel comments as they were taken and twisted to be ... it was twisted by many others."

But in addition to that, she also reminded us that “it was loud and hard to hear”:

A reporter asks why the White House felt the need to walk back Biden's comments on shutting down coal plants:

"It was loud and hard to hear...The president's words we believe were twisted...[Biden] has spent his presidency fighting for coal communities..."

OK, well, let’s listen again:

BIDEN ON COAL:

"We're gonna be shutting these plants down all across America, and having wind and solar."

Seems pretty clear to us. The only thing we hear is Joe Biden … saying that “we’re gonna be shutting these plants down all across America.”

Jean-Pierre says that Joe Biden saying "We're going to shut down coal plants all over America" was "being twisted" because he was actually talking about "an energy transition and the need to support coal communities through it"... which would also involve shutting down coal.

Biden’s words weren’t “twisted.” There was no “confusion.” We know exactly what he said.

Hopefully enough Americans show up to vote the Democrats out of office at every level of government.

That would be a good start

Joe’s words were indeed twisted.

By Joe.

Everything the man says is twisted.

Sheesh. It's exactly like listening to kid lie to you after you've caught them red-handed.

"What are you doing with that cookie? Did you take one from that jar after I just told you no more before dinner?"

"Um, no, it...it-- It fell out of the jar and I was just putting it back!"

Or they blame it on a sibling or imaginary ‘person’...............

This administration has hit rock bottom so often that natural bottom dwelling species are suffering from habitat loss.

Excellent   :-)

Was there a sign language person on hand in real time? Deaf people aren't bothered with noise.
