Joe Biden stepped in it tonight when during his closing argument at the Presidential Debate he answered yes to whether he would close down the oil industry.
It took a pointed question from President Trump to ask if Biden would shut down the oil industry. The moderator certainly wasn’t going to ask. After Biden answered “yes” to the question, the moderator asked, “Why would you do that?”
Biden confirmed that he wants to transition away from the oil industry because it “pollutes.”

President Trump told Texas and Pennsylvania to listen to what Biden was saying. This means thousands of jobs are lost in those states.
