Biden press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about energy jobs lost under Biden this week.
Peter Doocy of FOX News wanted to know when all these workers are going to get the “green jobs” they have been promised.
Psaki had no answer but did her best to spin it.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Fox News reporter asks Jen Psaki when unemployed fossil fuel workers can expect ‘green’ jobs
White House press secretary Jen Psaki gave a curt response to Fox News’s Peter Doocy after he asked when fossil fuel workers who have lost their jobs can expect new “green” employment.
“When is it that the Biden administration is going to let the thousands of fossil fuel industry workers, whether it’s pipeline workers or construction workers who are either out of work or will soon be out of work because of a Biden [executive order], when it is and where it is that they can go for their green job?” Doocy asked.
“I would certainly welcome you to present your data of all the thousands and thousands of people who won’t be getting a green job,” Psaki replied. “Maybe next time you’re here, you can present that.”
“But you said that they would be getting green jobs. So I’m just asking when that happens,” Doocy said, before citing a quote from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka expressing disappointment in Biden’s executive order on Keystone.

Fox News's Peter Doocy is back and he's brought the receipts on energy to Jen Psaki.
Needless to say, she didn't like that he pressed her on what's the plan for laid off workers to get these fantastical "green" jobs that Biden and Kerry keep talking about (1/2) pic.twitter.com/czz45M9tXK

Doocy: "But there are people living paycheck to paycheck. There are now people out of jobs…It's been 12 days since Gina McCarthy and John Kerry were here. It's been 19 days since that EO, so what do those people who need money now — when do they get their green jobs?" (2/2) pic.twitter.com/IlRp9iYKlY

.@pdoocy asked a very reasonable question about thousands of energy workers losing their jobs because of Biden's EO & when they can get their "green jobs" Biden promised.
Psaki mocked his question and said maybe he could "present evidence next time" he's in the briefing room…

Psaki didn’t have an answer because there is no good answer for this.
Biden is destroying people’s jobs.
