Energy chief Jennifer Granholm admits ‘poor judgment’ with EV fiasco
The New York Post ^ | 09/14/2023 | Ryan King

ithium deposit found in northwest US may be the world’s largest Shamefaced Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm confirmed Thursday that her staff hogged an electric car charging station during a summer trip, leading to law enforcement getting involved.

Granholm, 64, was on a four-day road trip from North Carolina to Tennessee with a traveling caravan of electric and nonelectric vehicles when a member of her advance team used a gasoline-powered car to reserve a charging spot, angering a family that had been waiting in line.

“Yeah, I’ve seen the reports,” Granholm told Rep. Scott Franklin (R-Fla.) when he asked during a House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology hearing whether an NPR report from this past weekend outlining the incident was true.

When Franklin pressed the former Michigan governor, she answered: “Let me just say, I have a fantastic young staff. Just fantastic.”

Franklin then cut her off again.

“Well, that’s neither here nor there,” he interjected. “Is it true that … one of your representatives parked in an electric charging spot to reserve the position for you so that you could do it and not be deterred from your travels?”

“It was poor judgement on the part of the team,” Granholm conceded.

“Poor judgment,” Franklin agreed. “But why do you think they did that?”

“I can only imagine they wanted to continue moving,” the energy secretary responded. “But the bottom line is, it’s not going to happen again.”

Arrogance, hubris, and entitlement, are three of the requirements to be a member of the Biden Administration.

It was poor judgement for her mother to get pregnant and give birth. Sometimes, I almost think abortion is okay.

She has also freely admitted perjury. Because she knows that lying under oath is not a crime for Democrats.

As is the case for most of this horrible administration.

That's for sure, one flopped stunt is enough.

That’s a day trip for normal cars.

I detest granholms smug attitude. Well good enough... she’s got about ,what, 6 or 7 years to live before the planet starts dying...I wouldn’t be worryin’ about finding ev chargers if I knew I only had 6-7 years to begin dying on this planet, and the Russians, Chinese, and Indians don’t care a bit about climate change.

As opposed to all the other times you had “poor judgement”, Jenny?

Already true of Granholm.

I lived here in Michigan during those dark days of Granholm (which now are good old days compared to Whitmer).

Dems used to wish Granholm could be president but remembered she was born in British Columbia and came to OUR country later on. Whew.

“As is the case for most of this horrible administration.“

How does any of them know that any one of the aborted aren’t just as vital to this world as they imagine themselves to be?

EV travel works well if you're an 'elite' and a bully.

Well, Jennifer Granholm got caught because the US isn't a totalitarian hellhole yet - but if Biden and his intelligence goons have their way the family with the baby that objected would be arrested for 'not respecting US "institutions"... which the bully bimbo elite Jennifer Granholmwas was representing.
