What was that line about Scranton Joe looking out for the working man?
Fox News (12/19/19) reports: "Former Vice President Joe Biden made clear at Thursday night’s Democratic presidential primary debate that he’d sacrifice economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production and potentially risk displacing hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in order to combat climate change. Moderator Tim Alberta asked: 'Three consecutive American presidents have enjoyed stints of explosive economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production. As president, would you be willing to sacrifice some of that growth, even knowing potentially that it could displace thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in the interest of transitioning to that greener economy?' 'The answer is yes,' the former vice president said...'The Biden line sounds familiar, doesn't it?,' wrote America Rising Press Secretary Joe Gierut. He then highlighted Clinton’s line from 2016 when she said 'we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.'"
