Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

President Biden's attempt to block the sale of gas-powered vehicles and mandate electric vehicles in the next decade would have disastrous consequences for American families, American businesses, and the American economy.

In its quest to implement Green New Deal initiatives, President Biden and his administration are using American taxpayer dollars to buy electric vehicle charging stations from the Chinese Communist Party.

Let me say that again. Biden and his administration are using American taxpayer dollars to buy electric vehicle charging stations from the Chinese Communist Party. They are sending taxpayer dollars to China.

President Biden's attempt to dodge the bipartisan Buy America rule is a realization that his electric vehicle policies are impractical and irresponsible.

Come on. Americans aren't fooled. An electric vehicle with a Chinese battery is a Chinese car.

Last year, this House passed my legislation, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, with a bipartisan majority. This body has recognized that electric vehicles are unable to sustain our economy and unable to sustain the American Dream.

It is critical that we speak with one voice and pass this legislation to stop the Biden administration from sending American taxpayer dollars to companies run by the Chinese Communist Party.

Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this important legislation.
