Republicans mount campaign against Democrats over lost pipeline jobs
by Kerry Picket
 | February 15, 2021 06:30 AM

On his first day in office, President Biden signed an order that revoked the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Now House Republicans are practically salivating at the chance to use Biden's move as a 2022 campaign cudgel against Democrats.

Biden's Jan. 20 executive order revokes the permit that was granted to TC Energy Corporation for the Keystone XL pipeline. The proposed 875-mile pipeline, years in the making, would carry a heavy crude oil mixture from Western Canada to Nebraska, where it would connect with another leg stretching to Gulf Coast refineries.

The administration of President Donald Trump approved the project, but Biden nixed it because, it said, a pipeline rupture posed imminent environmental threats. But for House Republicans, within striking distance of winning a House majority in 2022, it's an opportunity to paint the Biden administration as a job-killer. Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the GOP campaign arm, argues the change will cost many American jobs.

“House Democrats are going to pay the price for their job-killing, anti-energy agenda," Emmer told the Washington Examiner in a statement.

Forcing a vote on this during this winter storm will certainly provide some rich targets to take out.

They need to Pounce! Those 10s or 100s of thousands of jobs are a hill worth fighting for and "dying" on!

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

@christian a lot of us fought; some very hard!!!  Almost 75,000,000 voted for Trump.  Many also tried to unseat DEMS during the mid terms.

Some of us in here have different ideas on how to move forward, but the vast majority in here are definitely NOT clueless.  Not in the least.

I'm clearly not talking to those that fought the good fight, but refering to the deniers and the clueless, Liberty bele.       Some of them still deny, and i still go round and round with.

This is all about ensuring it's a front-n-center campaign issue going into the mid-terms.
