Joe Biden Claims He Didn't Know A Fossil Fuel Executive Was Hosting A Fundraiser For Him
Goldman is listed as an executive on a filing
https://splinternews.com/joe-biden-slightly-fuzzy-on-whether-a-fossil-fuel-execu-1837886707
On CNNs climate crisis town hall Wednesday night, Joe Biden claimed to be unaware of a report from the Intercept that a fossil fuel executive would be co-hosting a fundraiser for his campaign on Thursday.
Andrew Goldman is a co-founder of Western LNG, a natural gas production and transportation company based in Houston, Texas. And just so were not fooling ourselves here, LNG stands for liquefied natural gas. Goldman also worked as an advisor to Biden during his time as a U.S. Senator from Delaware.
He is not a fossil fuel executive, Biden said in response to a question from Northwestern University doctoral candidate Isaac Larkin, crossing his arms.
However, it just so happens that in a 2018 filing in Canada, Goldman is described as part of the companys senior management team. He is a long-term investor in the liquefied natural gas sector, the filing offers helpfully.

(776 posts)2. Same OP phrased differently
with the same recs and same posters cheering on.
Sounds like a memo from HQ (David Sirota) to post this often.
It will actually work against BS because such tactics are not favored by Democrats.

But I'm sure three or four more OPs like this will show up in the next few hours.
Even Splinter screwed up in their hit piece, saying this:
When pushed to elaborate by CNNs Anderson Cooper, Goldman said: I didnt realize he does that, Biden said, referring to Goldmans fossil fuel involvement.
Goldman wasn't at that town hall last night, was he?
Interesting how NO ONE can actually say what Mr. Goldman actually does today with respect to Western LNG. Wonder why that is?
