On Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” Monday, new White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was telling that President Joe Biden waited two weeks before leaving office to announce the drilling restrictions he announced earlier in the day and that the move is being pushed by left-wing radicals and is intended “to be anti-Trump, not pro-America.”
Leavitt said the move “is the work of the radical left environmental extremists in his administration, who don’t care about what is in the best interests of the American people, the American people who just re-elected President Trump with a mandate resounding to drill, baby. , drill.”
Co-host Steve Doocy then said, “Apparently, on a lot of these lands…in a lot of these areas, the gas refiners haven’t really had any interest in developing anyway.” But nevertheless, it’s just symbolic. And I know that this is going to be challenged in court and I know that Republicans can change the law, but, still, he did it in the last two weeks, rather than in his first two weeks, that says a lot.”
Leavitt replied: “It is. Like I said, this is the Biden administration just trying to punch President Trump as Joe Biden exits. But this will be Joe Biden’s legacy, not doing what is in the best interest of the American people to lower the cost of living and the inflation that robs them of their hard-earned wages every week, no, it’s It’s about throwing stones at those who don’t believe in their ideology. It’s about being anti-Trump, not pro-American.”
