Fact Check: Joe Biden Claims to Not Support Green New Deal
Breitbart ^ | September 29 2020 | Robert Kraychick

Posted on 09/30/2020 6:02:11 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

CLAIM: Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed to not support the Green New Deal during Tuesday’s presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio.

VERDICT: FALSE.

Biden’s own campaign website describes the Green New Deal as a “crucial framework” in combating what it claims is a “climate crisis” in a section titled, “THE BIDEN PLAN FOR A CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE”:

Vice President Biden knows there is no greater challenge facing our country and our world. Today, he is outlining a bold plan – a Clean Energy Revolution – to address this grave threat and lead the world in addressing the climate emergency.

Trump mercilessly trolled Slow Joe over the green new deal and forced Biden to denounce it, despite it being on Bidens own campaign site. The Bernie Bros are not going to be happy. Trump got 12% of Bernie voters in 2016, he is heading for a higher share this year.

During the debate, Biden clearly argued explicitly in favor of the Green New Deal and then quickly disclaimed it.

Yeah; biden caught himself saying the green new dealiebobber would pay for itself, and two sentences later said he was not for it. Brilliant on his feet, isn’t he?

I totally smacked that issue out of the ballpark last week with a friend.

Told him “No way you can support this poor manz who has been co-opted by the bullshit Bolsheviks if you read his platform

Because if read it, as I have, first thought in your head would absolutely be “Well, no effing way I let that happen!”

“Well, what do you disagree with?”

“Uhmmm, no. The way this game is played you defend your guy and I defend mine. I’ve read your guy’s manifesto and mine doesn’t have one because it’s just a continuation of the 2016 agenda.

Notice the terminology agenda vs manifesto.

But, please tell me how Harris/Biden benefits America and you personally...”

Waiting

Next round I get specific with Harris/Biden proposal and shred it

Yep another candidate FOR everything. His promises were all platitudes...I promise to create 10 million news jobs and everyone will have healthcare and the economy will be strong and on and on with zero evidence of past success.

joe came across as the extreme socialist. He came off right of kamala during the primary, now he’s about as left as is possible. He wouldn’t say ‘law and order’ without a qualifier and he did say ‘my green deal’ before retracting to ‘the biden plan’ or whatever.

The Biden Green New Deal prohibits wind turbines with more than three prop blades. It prohibits cleaning of solar cells more thn once every two months. The plan declares that any job using electricity and not related directly to fossil fuels is a green job

Why didn’t Trump say that???? Not prepared! Took it for granted that Rush was right that biden wouldn’t be able to talk or show, I think.

On the subject of Presidential correctness, President Trump always says Hunter Biden was payed $183k per month.

The media refuses to call him in it I suppose because to do so would expose the true amount of $83 k per month or the fact there was any thing per month.

The sum of $83.3 k per month is $1 million per year

This is just getting started. We will hear from Ukraine before it is over

Biden lies were many, I counted 10-15, and I think even more have been documented.

Every time Trump nailed him Biden said: “That’s not true.”

I loved when Trump mentioned Hunter was a cokehead and discharge and biden said ‘Beau is ok’ basically as the response. Really rotten to the core, the bidens.

Well Trump took that swipe at Hunter when Sloe Joe kept boasting about this great war hero son of his and whatnot and compared him to Trump’s sons as never having served in the military.

Trump got Biden to dis all the major Bernie, AOC, BLM “religion tenants”. Not going to sit well with them. They are reactionary.

And that’s the saving grace. This was a disaster for everyone, but I think he got biden to distance himself from both far left and moderates on the law and order/antifa/blm and green stuff.

He not only argued in its favor, he ardently defended it. When Chrissy called him out on it, he immediately backtracked.

Biden is a typical pol and will say whatever he thinks will play well with an audience. With no principles they can flip flop the next time with nary a thought.

Biden also admitted to not bothering to even phone it in to help with Democrat cities burning and rioting.

Juxtapose that with his two statements 1) I am The Democrat Party 2) I don't hold an office and don't represent the Democrat Party
