UMVA has learned that in a stunning display of bravado, Joe Biden boasted about his administration's aggressive crackdown on the oil industry during a recent appearance on a popular late-night talk show.
The President's comments came as he took a victory lap on his efforts to severely restrict domestic drilling, a move that has sent shockwaves through the energy sector. In one of his final acts as president, Biden slapped a permanent ban on offshore drilling across a vast swath of US ocean, covering an area of over 625 million acres.
This move was just the latest salvo in a long line of attacks on the oil industry. Biden had previously blocked oil drilling on 10 million acres in Alaska and canceled the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office. The President's actions have been hailed as a major win for environmentalists, but have also sparked fierce criticism from industry groups and Republicans.
As Biden gloated about his accomplishments, he was joined by his host, a fellow multimillionaire with a penchant for vintage cars. The two were spotted cruising down the highway in a classic ride, laughing and joking about the demise of the oil industry. "The other thing I was able to do, I made sure there could be no oil drilling off the East Coast, the West Coast and 150 miles off the Gulf of Mexico," Biden said with a chuckle.
The President's comments have sparked outrage among critics, who accuse him of elitism and disregard for the economic impact of his policies. "There's nothing more elitist than two multimillionaires who own vintage gas guzzlers laughing about killing the oil industry," a critic might say. The incident has raised questions about the impact of Biden's policies on the energy sector and the American economy.
