n the ensuing shouting, Trump accused Biden of supporting “the radical
Green New Deal,” which he alleged would cost “$100 trillion.” (For those who are wondering, that number is from a ludicrous “study” of the GND by the right-wing
American Action Forum.)
Biden responded, “The Green New Deal is not my plan.”
Then, just a few minutes later, he said, “The Green New Deal will pay for itself as we move forward.”
Then, minutes later, “No, I don’t support the Green New Deal.” He supports “the Biden plan, which is different than what [Trump] calls the radical Green New Deal.”
Minutes later, sleuths on the right turned up language on Biden’s website calling the Green New Deal a “crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”
