Jen Psaki mocks Fox News correspondent when asked about Keystone XL pipeline job losses
Psaki mocked Fox News’ Peter Doocy after he pressed her to address the “green jobs” promised by Biden
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki mocked Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy on Monday after he pressed her to address the “green jobs” promised by Joe Biden.
Doocy asked her a tough question, and she couldn’t answer it.
In one of the many executive orders he signed on his first day in office, Joe Biden cancelled the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline. TC Energy Corp., the Canadian company that owns the pipeline, estimates that 1,000 people will be immediately out of work following the order, as those jobs had already been filled. The company also estimated that 10,400 jobs would be created throughout the entirety of the pipeline’s construction.
Doocy asked Psaki when workers who lost job opportunities due to the executive order could expect to receive a “green job” replacement.

“When is it that the Biden administration is going to let the thousands of fossil fuel industry workers – whether its pipeline workers or construction workers who are either out of work or will soon be out of work because of Biden’s EO – when it is and where it is that they can go for their green jobs?” Doocy asked.
He referenced Biden’s pledge to create “high paying union jobs” through investments in green energy infrastructure projects, Fox News reports.
“Where is it that they can go for their green job?” he asked. “That is something the administration has promised and there is now a gap so I’m just curious when that happens, when those people can count on that?” he added.
To no surprise, Psaki refused to answer the question, instead requesting more evidence be presented.
“Well, I’d certainly welcome you to present your data of all the thousands and thousands of people who won’t be getting green jobs,” Psaki said. “Maybe next time you can present that.”
“But, you said that they would be getting green jobs, so I’m just asking when that happens,” Doocy replied.
A prominent union leader and Biden ally AFL-CIO president Richard Trumk blasted the decision in a Sunday interview, saying Biden should have announced where and when he would replace those jobs.
“I wish he hadn’t done that on the first day, because the Laborers International was right. It did and will cost us jobs in the process,” Trumka said,
“I wish he had paired that more carefully with the thing that he did second by saying, ‘here’s where we’re creating jobs,’” he added, saying he believes Biden knows this was “a mistake.”
Psaki pushed the criticism aside, giving a vague promise that Biden would announce a plan sometime in the future, per the New York Post.
“He has every plan to share more details on that plan in the weeks ahead,” she said when asked how Biden would support those left jobless.

The Union did one of those “If only the Fuer knew” bits. They couldn’t help themselves…. they spent tons of the union members money to help elect the man who put them out of work!

Yeap….and when not working and getting laid off, no can collect UI either ! Should have stuck with Trump. Going to lose your 401K and pension, healthcare insurance without a doubt! But will the Union pay the $4/gallon in gas prices this winter for your car and heating your house but the MSM will never report it. Good luck guys. Should have thought a bit longer term.

New jobs??? I know, the pipeline workers who lost their jobs can now go to work as HAZMAT Spill cleaners to clean up the spills from all the truck wrecks and train derailments that will result in spills on the order of 35,000 gallons per incident.

Union members like other idiot voters should have seen this coming. They are reaping what they have sown. More financial ruin to come from Biden’s Administration. The media is so gentle on this administration; they would have behaved like demon possessed creatures had Trump done that.

Uneducated votes is spot on, Robert. People were too busy disliking Trump to see the truth behind the Left. All you have to do is read Michael Pillsbury’s book “The Hundred Year Marathon” to find out what’s really going to happen- it’s fascinating and scary as hell. The Chinese have been undermining us since 1949 and everyone thought they were nice while creating paranoia and fear. It’s pure bull. Actually, bull smells better than this mess!
Leo- how do we get one of your hats??

The Trump hating was nothing more that a distraction to keep people from seeing what the Dems were actually doing.

We have placed the future of our children and grandchildren into the hands of ..1. The greedy, power hungry democrats and..2. A feeble minded, lying, hypocritical puppet. God help America.

Thank You Leo for defending the good people in America. And this is why I did not vote for Biden. He did not sign on ALL those new policies because he agreed or disagreed. He is a monkey for the left. Shameful as it is, we are now going to be in for more landslide decisions.

Biden’s America, where the state-run media gives you nothing but the party line. Psaki’s arrogance is astounding. Biden is a dimwit.

The voters of America who voted for this demorat regime did not read,pay attention to the fact Biden never revealed his message as to what he wanted for this country! Now those of who voted for president Trump and his policies are going to have to get busy and vote in 2022 for conservative, USA loving men amd women! The Rhinos have got to go too! Thank you Mr Terrell for leading and support us in the love of USA!!!!

Deserved to be mocked. Less than 40 permanent jobs after the pipeline is done to be shipped to gulf coast refineries to be refined, leaving us with the pollution and garbage left after refining just to ship it overseas to China where it was going to begin with.

It’s obvious that ‘Fox Stinks’ is smelling the garbage from the Biden camp and is chowing down on it with gusto.

So he killed jobs with no jobs planned to replace them. Bad call. Jen is woefully unprepared with answers. Americans are getting shafted by Biden. You get what you vote for. Biden should not be president. President Trump would not have killed jobs like this.
