Joe Biden, using his POTUS account on X, blamed the Supreme Court for a ruling that actually came from a lower court in Louisiana.
The tweet was up for most an hour and was just deleted after I got my screenshot:
The tweet has not been reposted by the POTUS account yet.
Bill Melugin retweeted it with the actual facts:
Even Biden’s Twitter account has dementia!
Seriously though, does Biden run the POTUS account? Probably not. What I think happened is that the left is so outraged and obsessed over the Supreme Court not allowing for the immediate prosecution of Trump in their immunity decision, that the outrage bled into this tweet that had nothing to do with them.
So what was this ruling about? Here’s the AP’s writeup on it:
The Biden administration can’t delay consideration of projects aimed at exporting liquefied natural gas while a legal challenge by 16 Republican-led states plays out in federal court, a Louisiana judge said Monday.
U.S. District Judge James Cain, Jr. sided with the states, granting a preliminary injunction that puts the Biden administration’s delay on hold.
It was unlikely, however, that any of the projects would be on a fast track for consideration as the U.S. Department of Energy said late Monday that it disagreed with the court’s ruling and was evaluating its next steps. The White House also voiced disappointment.
“We remain committed to informing our decisions with the best available economic and environmental analysis, underpinned by sound science,” White House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said in an email to The Associated Press.
President Joe Biden in January decided his administration would delay consideration of new natural gas export terminals in the United States, even as gas shipments to Europe and Asia soared following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The move aligned the Democrat with environmentalists who fear an increase in exports — in the form of liquefied natural gas, or LNG — is locking in potentially catastrophic planet-warming emissions.
