Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed that he "never said I oppose fracking" when pressed by President Donald Trump on the issue during Thursday night's presidential debate.
"You said it on tape," Trump replied.
Facts
First: It's false that Biden never said he opposed fracking. In two
Democratic primary debates, Biden made confusing remarks over fracking
that his campaign had to clarify. In 2019, Biden said "we would make
sure it's eliminated" when asked about the future of coal and fracking;
in 2020 he said he opposed "new fracking." Biden's written plan,
conversely, never included a full ban on fracking or even on new
fracking. Rather, it proposes "banning new oil and gas permitting on
public lands and waters" -- not ending all new fracking anywhere or
ending all existing fracking on public lands and waters.
Again bovine faeces. Biden either lied or forgot that he said he opposed fracking and was called out on it. Honesty demands you accept that. Instead, like Pravda assuring us that the USSR was strong and that its leaders were healthy, we are given continuous lies and "nothing to see here!"
