Speaking during the first of three campaign rallies in Pennsylvania Monday morning, President Donald Trump slammed former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris for their policy positions on American energy.
“I want to begin today by discussing an issue of existential importance to Pennsylvania. Very very important. Last week Sleepy Joe Biden made perhaps the most shocking statement ever uttered in the history of presidential debates. In other words, he blew it,” Trump said.
“Joe Biden confirmed his plan to abolish the entire U.S. oil industry. That means no fracking, no jobs, no energy for Pennsylvania families, Texas, all the others.”
“The Biden energy shutdown would inflict deep pain and misery on Pennsylvania. Mass layoffs, constant blackouts, and brownouts, soaring gas prices. It’s nice to have that $2 gasoline, isn’t it? Surging energy bills, no air conditioning during the summer, no heat during the winter, and no electricity during peak hours,” he continued.
Trump also slammed the Paris Climate agreement, which Biden has vowed to rejoin.
“Biden’s plan is an economic death sentence,” Trump said. “He will eradicate your energy and send Pennsylvania into a crippling depression.”
During the final presidential debate in Nashville last week, former Biden dared Trump to produce footage of him saying he would ban fracking. Trump obliged and the Trump campaign has been hammering the issue.

What Old White Joe says doesn’t mean too much. Presidential Executive Orders can only go so far. On the other hand, Congress actually makes the laws – and they can do whatever they please. Congress members such as AOC can do a lot more damage to the economy than Joe.
And it’s still the economy that matters most – which is why the Democrats are harping on Covid-19. If they mention the economy, all they can point to is eight years of BO, with Joe as VP – sluggish is a polite word for that non-effort.
