Joe Biden Lies About His Refusal To
Ban Fracking

 

Joe Biden falsely claimed that supports banning fracking. The reality is that Joe Biden gets paid by oil and gas lobbyists to block any progress that would impede their profit margin.

  • His climate adviser, Heather Zichal, is a former board member of natural gas company Cheniere Energy

  • He hired Rep. Cedric Richmond to serve as his campaign co-chairman, a long time pro-fracking politician

  • One of his fundraisers is a co-founder of natural gas company Western LNG

  • One of the super PACs supporting his candidacy has former gas lobbyists on it's board
