Oklahoma Republican Congressman Frank Lucas is blunt with his assessment of President Biden’s campaign to “Build Back Better.” It threatens the country’s energy industry.
The western Oklahoma U.S. Representative also says Biden has already broken his inauguration-speech promise to “work to be a President who seeks not to divide but unify.”
Strong words from a Congressman who typically is known for his efforts to protect the agriculture industry rather than criticizing the President of the United States.
In a recent op-ed piece, Rep. Lucas said the President has used his executive authority to enact a laundry list of liberal policies.
“And targeting America’s energy industry during an economic crisis is no way to ensure these workers come back stronger and healthier,” he wrote.
Lucas took Biden to task for cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, putting a moratorium on new mining, oil and gas leasing on federal ands and rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement.
“Simply put, the Biden Administration is moving forward with its partisan energy agenda at the cost of American jobs and community development,” he said.
