“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” he said in a statement ahead of the week’s upcoming midterm elections.
Joe Biden is facing heat from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin over comments he made about coal in America. On Friday, the president gave a speech about the CHIPS Act in San Diego, pledging to shut down all the coal plants in the nation.
Manchin shot back: “Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden. It seems his positions change daily depending on the audience and politics of the day.” The senator went on to call Biden’s remarks “offensive and disgusting” and that he “owes these incredible workers an immediate and public apology.”
