President Biden made a big show out of “buying American” during his State of the Union speech: “When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs,” Biden said.
But folks on social media were quick to point out that Biden’s “Buy American” advice doesn’t exactly extend to the administration’s energy policy:
“You know who would like to Buy American right now? Europeans who need oil and gas and want to isolate Russia. But POTUS and climate extremists made sure they can’t do that.”
