President Joe Biden's Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, refused to take responsibility after an incident involving her administration's push on the Left's Green New Deal went haywire.
Advertisement Granholm blamed her staff's poor judgment after police were called for clogging electric vehicle (EV) chargers with a gas-powered car.
During a House Science and Technology Committee hearing, the Biden staffer was grilled by Rep. Scott Franklin (R-Fla.) over the incident that occurred in Georgia during her four-day EV road trip in June.
According to a 911 call, Granholm's staff left drivers up in arms after they blocked open chargers with a non-electric car outside a local Walmart while the Biden administration official was still en route.
"Let me just say, I have a fantastic young staff, just fantastic," Granholm said. "It was poor judgment on the part of the team."
Franklin pressed Granholm on why her staff blocked the charger, to which she responded by saying, "I can only imagine they wanted to continue moving."
Granholm continued to shift the blame away from her, making sure Franklin knew it was "not her" that was "saving the spot."

Wonder why no one is questioning why the entitled Energy Secretary even had staffers driving an ICE vehicle as backup for the much touted EV she was riding in? She should have been driving with them as passengers. One goes down, they all go down.
If her eyebrows get any higher...cue the Nancy Pelosi joke.
Good one!
