Well, it’s official, Joe Biden is a liar.
We knew he would not sign any GOP legislation that came across his desk.
However, now he is threatening bipartisan legislation with a veto.
The Veto Pen
Last week, H.R. 21 was presented by Republicans, and it did have some across-the-aisle support.
The legislation is to stop Biden from continuing to sell oil from our reserves.
The White House, however, has expressed its displeasure, sinking the bill before it ever even got a shot in the Senate.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm stated, “If Congress were to pass H.R. 21, the president would veto it.
“He will not allow the American people to suffer because of the backwards agenda that House Republicans are advancing.”
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) responded, “Republicans want durable, long-lasting relief at the pump.
“The best way to do this is by unleashing American energy, which is what H.R. 21 helps accomplish.”
So, my best guess here is that even if there were Democrats in the Senate that would have voted to pass this, they will know back off knowing that Biden is going to veto it.
That is if Senator Schumer (D-N.Y.) would even bother to put it on the floor for a vote.
