Joe Biden has hired John Podesta to be the new Clean Energy Czar, citing his experience in progressive causes. Hilariously, the New York Times is running with a justification that Podesta holds some prior experience in advancing the climate change agenda. This begs the question of what the heck John Kerry is doing now?
John Podesta
- John Podesta had nothing to do with the Obama-era clean energy initiatives or energy spending programs.
- Podesta was inserted into Obama's orbit in the second term (2013) specifically to watch out for Hillary Clinton's interests when she left to run for President.
- Podesta later joined her in 2015 and took over the strategy team.
