BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Joe Biden said at the first presidential debate that he does not support the Green New Deal, but his campaign website calls it a “crucial framework” for meeting climate change challenges.

Biden spent much of the night distancing himself from the far left of his party, including openly disavowing the Green New Deal in rare form.

“The Green New Deal is not my plan,” Biden said, responding after President Trump called out the former vice president over the climate proposal.

The former vice president responded to the apparent contradiction. “I have no idea how the internet works, so I’m not sure who wrote what on my website. By my own admission, I know very little about today’s technology, but I don’t doubt that a republican wrote those contradictory words on website, in their clever way of using the Morse Code.”
