Joe Biden has spent the better part of two years telling anyone who would listen that he isn’t shutting down the U.S. oil industry, but last night he finally admitted that he was doing just that, ending oil drilling and crippling the U.S. energy sector.
As the price of gas soared and Americans began to accuse Biden of shutting down the U.S. domestic oil industry, he repeatedly struck back calling opponents liars and saying he had no intention of shutting down U.S. drilling.
But on Sunday, he made the lie to his own claims that everyone else was lying about his agenda.
“No more drilling. There is no more drilling,” Biden said Sunday, speaking to a climate activist as he finished up a rally in New York for Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY). “I haven’t formed any new drilling.”

Per Breitbart News:
The activist responded to Biden by noting there is still offshore drilling in the Antarctic and off of the Gulf of Mexico.
“That was before I was president,” Biden said. “We’re trying to work on that — get that done.”
Biden’s comment to the climate activist differed from his statements on Wednesday when he blamed oil companies for not drilling enough.
“We haven’t slowed them down at all. They should be drilling more than they’re doing now,” he said at a rally in New Mexico. “If they were drilling more, we’d have more relief at the pump.”
Biden has been lying all year about his efforts to destroy the U.S. energy industry.
Now he is finally admitting it.
Vote accordingly, America.
