Republican U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil said he couldn t disagree more with that conclusion.
On Friday, Steil along with Republican U.S. Reps. Glenn Grothman and Scott Fitzgerald met with employees of Michels Corp., a subcontractor on the project, in Racine County to express their frustration with the executive order ending the project and encouraged Biden to reconsider.
Steil said Biden killed hundreds of Wisconsin jobs. Sometimes it seems abstract that a pipeline in North and South Dakota, moving oil and gas from Canada to the United States can impact Wisconsin workers, Steil said. We need to have good-paying jobs in the United States of America. We need to have good-paying jobs here in Wisconsin.
Rep. Bryan Steil lashed out at Joe Biden on Wednesday as the new president called for unity to solve the nationâs problems.
âDespite promising to work for unity, in his first hours in office President Biden has managed to destroy American jobs, support giving amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants and make plans to enact a radical anti-life agenda,â the 1st District congressman said in a statement.
âOn day one, Biden has set the tone for what is to come in his administration: legislating by executive orders, championing massive spending bills and supporting far-left priorities that reverse years of economic growth and job creation,â Steil said.

Construction workers joined three Wisconsin congressmen in Racine County on Friday to protest President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel work on the Keystone XL pipeline.
Plans for the Keystone XL had called for building a 1,700-mile pipeline to carry about 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. But the Biden Administration revoked the permit for the project after citing concerns that it would contribute to climate change.
