COVER UP? The Hill Defends Biden on Fracking, Ignores Past Comments
NewsBusters ^ | 8/31/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 08/31/2020 3:05:11 PM PDT by JV3MRC

Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden just contradicted himself by claiming he was “not banning fracking.” Liberal outlet The Hill not only defended it but accused President Donald Trump of falsely stating Biden’s position.

Biden pretended Monday in Pennsylvania: “I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again: I am not banning fracking. No matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me.” The Hill parroted this, and crazily said that “Throughout the Republican National Convention last week, speakers attacked Biden’s climate and energy plan, offering a number of misleading comments.” At the bottom of the piece, The Hill said that Trump “falsely stated” during the Republican National Convention that “‘Biden has promised to abolish the production of American oil, coal, shale and natural gas.’”

Does Joe Birdbrain disavow and denounce the Green Nude Eel?

Joe: “Just because Trump’s gonna put y’all back in chains, doesn’t mean I am gonna ban fracking.” “Is that a squirrel out there by the tree?”

As Dementia Joe’s numbers tank to the point even the MSM is having a difficult time covering for that they are going into full defend Joe at all costs mode. But, we shouldn’t expect anything less from the propaganda arm of the DNC.

I’ve always thought it was funny when Obama claimed McCain would open up everything with Fracking, and then when he and Biden came into office, the worst fracking began nationwide through Ken Salazar who was appointed by Obama as the Dept of the interior. It was through this same office we have the blow out of the Deep Water Horizon. And it was also through this same office we have so many train crashes that dumped oil into our river ways. So, Biden will be the worst president for our environment

We know that Democrats are compulsive liars. So it’s no surprise that they’re psychopaths. Look at some of the criminal activities that they’ve been instigating and cheering.

It sounds like Biden is trying to claim that saying no "new" fracking is not the same as outlawing fracking.

This position will please no one. It is like the folks in the 19th century who didn't want to outlaw slavery, but wanted to stop the importation of new slaves.

The underlying assumption is that slavery is an evil that must be phased out. Biden is treating fracking like an evil that must be phased out. That won't help him in Pennsylvania, Michigan or Ohio.

It is a no-win issue for him because the far left base has forced them into the Green New Deal box.

He is against fossil fuels when he stands before them but he will soft-peddle the issue to workers who will lose their jobs by saying they are going to “phase it out” or “transition.”

You cannot have it both ways. He lied today. He has done this on other issues as well.... remember the AR rifle controversy and putting Beto in charge of gun rights policy? He has run from that one also.

I would love for The Hill to clarify their defense today given the extensive video and audio out there making it quite clear that Joe says “No” to fracking and other energy jobs. Probably not going to happen, but its their credibility.....

TODAY biden said he was going to phase out fossil fuels, so fracking is a moot issue ...

Either way, he could only “ban” fracing on government land.

Please spell it correctly. The media spells it “fracking” because it looks like Frankenstein, the F-Bomb, or something hideous. It is spelled “fracing,” which is short for fracturing.

The Trump campaign needs to blitz western Pennsylvania television with advertising showing "best of" Biden's fracking bloopers lies.

I was going to suggest that there is plenty of material in that Biden speech for numerous Trump campaign ads.
