Nikki Haley says Biden is worse than King George: 2024 hopeful compares Britain’s crackdown on colonies to Joe trying to ‘control the light bulbs we use’ and the ‘stoves we buy’

  • Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley debuted her ‘Freedom Plan’ on Friday at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire
  • As part of that, she listed ways to “reduce the federal government’s control over our lives.”
  • In her speech, she said the British had “nothing on Joe Biden” and criticized him for trying to control light bulbs, cars and the stoves Americans can buy

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley claimed Friday that President Joe Biden was worse than Britain’s King George III, whose behavior sparked the American Revolution.

Haley debuted her “Freedom Plan” — an economic agenda she hopes to implement if elected to the White House next year — before an audience of potential voters at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

One of the three principles she proposes is a laundry list of ways to “reduce the federal government’s control over our lives.”

In the Declaration of Independence, the Founders accused King George of sending “swarms of officers to harass our people and eat their property,” but the British didn’t notice. Joe Biden,” she said, drawing laughter from the audience.

“He is trying to take control of the light bulbs we use, the cars we drive, the stoves we buy and countless other parts of our daily lives,” she added.

She lamented, “Entire industries now live or die at the whims of Washington.”

Last month, the Biden administration banned light bulbs, a process that began when Republican President George W. Bush was president and Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act.

The Trump administration had appealed the rules, but the Biden administration reinstated them when he took office in January 2021.

The president has also advocated the transition to electric vehicles and signed legislation that includes incentives to advance it.

On stoves, a Biden-appointed commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Richard L. Trumka Jr., sparked a frenzy on the political right in January when he said gas stoves were a “hidden danger” and “every option,” including a ban , was on the table.

Trumka had pointed out the link between gas stoves and the number of asthma cases in children.

Facing a barrage of criticism from Republicans, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to announce that the government was not going after America’s gas stoves.

“The president does not support banning gas stoves and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is independent, does not ban gas stoves,” she said.

Haley’s comments follow former President Donald Trump, one of her rivals for the 2024 Republican White House, complaining about the administration setting certain energy standards.

‘You know, I have a beautiful head of hair – when I take a shower, I want water to flow over me. When you go into these new houses with showers, the water drips down slowly, slowly,” Trump said last month at a dinner with voters in South Carolina.

Other parts of Haley’s “Freedom Plan” included changes to the tax code that she claimed would benefit the middle class and force Congress to make budget cuts.

“I will veto any spending bill that doesn’t get us back to pre-COVID levels,” she vowed. “We’re not talking about 1950 spending levels. We’re talking about just four years ago.”

One of her ideas included not paying members of Congress if they failed to pass a budget.

She also pitched a rollback of Biden’s green energy incentives.

“Joe Biden is forcing us to buy expensive electric cars and subsidize car companies,” Haley said. ‘Innovative electric car companies don’t need subsidies.’

Haley also pointed out that most electric car batteries are made in China, despite the current push from the White House to move battery production to the United States.
