Lol, blaming Reagan for something Biden did.Yeah, it was the trend at the time from the Reaganite pledge to jail everyone in the US to make sure they obeyed the law and part of the Drug War penalty phase. It's also known as "tough love"...Along with the million man police force for the police state of America....The only thing Biden can claim is signing the bill in the 90's that put millions of minorities in jail.And you guys said that AP was fake news and now you are justifying their actions.Live the vaccine, he’s gotta steal from the accomplishments of others. 50 years and zero accomplishments, it’s all he has.
Matt Lee, an Associated Press reporter, called out State Department spokesman Ned Price for suggesting that President Biden was responsible for a Trump administration policy.
Price suggested during the press conference that the Biden administration was responsible for getting 18 entities to scale back their involvement in Nord Stream 2, a natural gas pipeline project between Russia and Germany that would double the amount of natural gas Europe imports from Russia.
“Ned, don’t you think it’s a bit disingenuous to claim credit for the 18 companies winding down? All of this work was done under the previous administration,” Lee said to Price.
And then, things got really heated. Here’s a partial transcript:
PRICE: Matt, I’m not —
LEE: You guys have only been in a month for —
PRICE: Matt —
LEE: I mean, only been in office for a month, right? Are you telling me that in the last four weeks —
PRICE: Matt, I am —
LEE: — these 18 companies all of a sudden decided to say, “Oh my God, we better not do anything with Nord Stream 2.”
PRICE: Matt, I am speaking for the —
LEE: All of that you’re taking —
PRICE: I am speaking —
LEE: You guys are taking credit for stuff that the previous administration did, right?
PRICE: Matt, Matt, I am not —
LEE: No? Yes or no?
PRICE: I am speaking for the Department of State.
LEE: Okay. All right.
Price eventually conceded that the Biden administration “has the same position that the previous administration had. It is a bad deal, it is bad for Europe, it is in contravention of Europe’s own stated energy goals.”
