The Biden Administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a loan of $3 billion to a solar company that has been accused of scamming elderly customers, including customers with dementia.

Rick Scott of Florida, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, John Barrasso of Wyoming and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. The cost of ObamaCare is far too high for our great citizens.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2019 It’s not the first time Trump has made this claim.
