The Left Doesn't Want Us to Hear About the Biden Auto Industry 'Bloodbath' That Trump Was Talking About
We saw the Democrats -- including the Biden campaign, Never Trump people, and the media -- flip out in a wild way over former President Donald Trump using the term "bloodbath" to describe the effect that Joe Biden's EV push could have on the auto industry. Trump spoke about the influence of the Chinese and about autos being built out of the U.S.
The crazy brigade said that he was pushing violence with the use of that word. That, of course, was nuts, as we noted, since the media and Biden have used the term in the past. But what's funny is that CNBC used it in a similar context to how Trump was talking about it -- namely, the push over EVs from a Chinese company -- and used the term "bloodbath."
So it's ok if CNBC uses it but if Trump talks about it, it's violent, evil, and bad.
The thing the left doesn't want us to focus on, the thing that's getting lost in the hyperbolic effort to take out Trump over one word, is the point that he was making about how damaging Biden's bad policies are for the auto industry.
But now Trump's words are even more on target because Biden is about to release new rules that attack gas-powered autos.
The Biden administration is expected this week to finalize highly anticipated regulations targeting gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions, considered the tip of the spear in its efforts to electrify the transportation sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is slated to issue the final rulemaking — which officials have boasted will incentivize greater adoption of electric vehicles (EV), but which opponents have criticized as a de facto mandate — as soon as Wednesday, industry sources told Fox News Digital. The regulations, a key part of President Biden's climate agenda, would ultimately force automakers to more rapidly expand electric options in their fleets beginning in a matter of years.
What is this all about now? Not only satisfying the leftist green agenda, but helping Biden's election chances -- he thinks.
"It certainly won't do anything to improve human health. It won't do anything to reduce pollution," American Energy Institute president and CEO Jason Isaac, who has researched the EV market, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "We've proven in this country that we're already a world leader in clean air. All it's going to continue to do is push the costs of electric vehicles on to purchasers of internal combustion engine vehicles."
"This is purely being done for campaign reasons — to really appease the leftist large donor base that are the climate alarmists that are driving this movement towards really what is a forced energy transition, which is just increasing the cost of everything," Isaac added.
Not only would that wreak havoc on the auto industry -- one might even call it a "bloodbath" -- it will create more dependence on China. Funny how Biden is pushing for that, given the money his family has gotten from the People's Republic.
"President Biden has been clear since 2020 that he intends to use his federal agencies, and the State of California, to eliminate sales of new gas cars," American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers president and CEO Chet Thompson, whose group has advocated against EPA's tailpipe regulations, told Fox News Digital in a written statement.
"While multiple administration policies push us toward this end, the EPA's passenger vehicle standards will do most of the damage on their own — requiring approximately 70% of new car sales to be electric in less than eight years," Thompson said. "This policy is bad for consumers, the economy and national security. It will sacrifice our hard-won U.S. energy strength for even greater dependence on China and the EV battery and mineral supply chain China controls."
People let loose on this horrible policy.
