Vice President Joe Biden spoke to an audience of roughly 700 at Penn State today in Central Pennsylvania.
Battle ‘10 was there.
“Just look at the newly released Pledge to America the Republicans have released,” said Biden.
Scattered groans.
“No really, take it seriously. Look at it. Here’s what it says … or, look at what Congressman Pete Sessions, Republican congressman in charge of their re-election campaign is saying they’ll do if they regain control of the Congress.”
“Here’s what he said: ‘We will pursue the exact same agenda we did during the Bush administration,’ so these guys are being pretty straight.”
Fact Check: Pete Sessions’s comment was looked at by the Washington Post in July, and it’s pretty clear the Vice President took some latitude with the facts. Here’s the exact quote from Sessions, in remarks on Meet the Press:
We need to make sure that we allow employers, which was in that 52-page report that was presented to the president of the United States by CEOs in this country, we need to go back to the exact same agenda that is empowering the free enterprise system rather than diminish it.
