Congress Laughs And Boos Biden Over Claims About Oil And Gas Industry | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Daily Wire News.

    President Joe Biden was both booed and laughed at over remarks that he made about the oil and gas industry on Tuesday night during his State of the Union address.

    Biden claimed that the industry made record profits during a global energy crisis because they "invested too little of that profit to increase domestic production and keep gas prices down."

    "Instead, they used those record profits to buy back their own stock, rewarding their CEOs and shareholders," he claimed. "Corporations ought to do the right thing."

    In fact, Biden is the one who clamped down on domestic drilling by canceling drilling leases. He instead lifted energy production sanctions on socialist dictatorships in countries like Venezuela.

    "We're going to need oil and gas for a while," Biden admitted at one point, leading to boos from Democrat members of Congress.

    Biden was later laughed at by Republicans when he said "we're going to need oil for at least another decade" because the U.S. is going to need oil for a lot longer than just another decade.

Among the many other lackluster performance standards by the Biden Administration - the most recent, allowing the Chinese Spy Balloon unfettered access to the skies above this Sovereign Republic - Joe Biden's foreign policy is considered by most true experts to be mediocre to abysmal at best. If one were to give a fair assessment of the quality of this apex duty of this Executive Branch: What would be your opinion of the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives and, or obvious faux pas?
  President Biden is a Foreign Policy expert of consummate skill just like his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter.
  America's First Idiot President is corruptly committed to making the World far less safe, while surrendering OUR United States of America's sovereignty whenever, wherever possible.
  Mr. Biden is MY President because I pay close attention to only what rewards me, thus demanding as little sacrifice as is my nature to offer, or shrug.

In the face of a known scandal finally being revealed by the corrupt Legacy Media regarding Joe Biden, his Mishandling of Classified Documents and his long history of Influence Peddling to our Foreign Adversaries for Personal and Familial Profit: What do you believe the outcome will be in America's Leftist practice of a Two Tiered Justice System?
  Nothing will happen since the Democratic Socialist Left is corrupt to the core, and their non patriot ambitions are only the control of power.
  Justice WILL be served, but NOT without a tremendous fight by those willing to save the Republic.
  Why can't everyone else understand that the Left is special because we care so much for our own, especially the well being of the president and his family, especially Hunter.
  What difference does it make; I am a product of a failed public education system.
