On Feb. 22, The Blaze reported on a media event in which Biden’s State Department spokesman, Ned Price, congratulated the new Democratic Government for its success in stifling the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline which would apparently have made much of Europe dependent on the whims of Putin’s Russian government. But, asked Matt Lee of the Associated Press, wasn’t it a bit disingenuous of Price to grant Biden credit for an agenda Trump had been pursuing for some time?
Trump, the charges of “Russian collusion” implied, was a mere puppet being manipulated by Putin. But it turns out that more than two years ago, in Jan. of 2019, his ambassador to Germany threatened that country with sanctions should it continue to support the completion of the pipeline in question. As a company named Allseas, run by Dutch contractor Edward Heerema, seems to have been key to the project, Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson, in Dec. of 2019, both implored him to suspend work on Nord Stream 2. On Dec. 21, Allseas announced that it had done so!
So Ned Price’s attempt to credit Biden with what was essentially a Trump accomplishment was just another Democratic lie! Yes, we all know Trump is prone to lying. But how much outrage have you seen on NBC and CNN on Biden’s own proclivity to the very same?
