Senator Kennedy Makes Up a New Word to Summarize Biden’s Energy Policy

Amid President Biden and his administration’s war on cheap and reliable American energy, the inexplicable decision to make a deal with Venezuela to allow oil to be drilled there and sent to the United States — despite the fact that Biden has been working to block oil drilling in the United States.

The move, in addition to making no sense, is also — by Biden’s standards — needlessly bad for the environment. We have oil in the United States that would not require international transport to reach the American market, but Biden won’t allow pipelines or drilling to do so.

Instead, he’s allowing drilling in Venezuela that will require a transport across more than 2,000 miles to reach the United States with increased risk to wildlife and water quality along the route than if the oil was drilled, refined, and transported within the United States.

Joining Fox News on Wednesday morning to sound off on Biden’s confounding energy policy, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana put things in terms only he can.

“I used to have a beagle named Roger, and Roger was a rascal,” Kennedy noted. “About every two weeks, Roger would run off — he’d always come back — but about half the time he’d come back dragging roadkill that he would hide under my back porch,” he explained. “President Biden’s energy policy looks like something Roger used to keep under my back porch.”
