AOC, top Democrats issue stinging rebuke of Biden over failed climate promises
Fox News
Several Democrat lawmakers blasted President Biden after he green-lit a massive 30-year oil drilling project in Alaska's wilderness, saying it contradicted his climate pledges.
"The Biden administration has committed to fighting climate change and advancing environmental justice—today’s decision to approve the Willow project fails to live up to those promises," Ocasio-Cortez said in a joint statement with Reps. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. "Their decision ignores ... the irrefutable science that says we must stop building projects like this to slow the ever more devastating impacts of climate change." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"This administration clearly knows what the path to a cleaner and more just future looks like — we wish they hadn’t chosen to stray so far from that path with today’s Willow decision," they continued. "The only acceptable Willow project is no Willow project."
