Go Talk to One

[charlyvi]

Preach it sister!


During a town hall event on Tuesday in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton bashed Republican lawmakers who are in "denial" about climate change and refuse to enact policies to address environmental issues.

Clinton noted that when asked if human activity contributes to climate change, many Republican lawmakers respond by saying, "I'm not a scientist."

"The answer to that is, 'Go talk to one,'" Clinton said.

The former Secretary of State said that lawmakers need to stop letting politics get in the way of policy to address climate change, criticizing Republicans who "are under the thumb of the fossil fuel industry, and in particular the Koch brothers."

6. She has a way of

telling stupid Republicans what should be obvious, but they don't know (or pretend not to). She's too basically polite to end something like "Go talk to one" with "you moron," but I wouldn't blame her if she was thinking it!

Go Hillary! Keep calling 'em out!

8. They ARE in denial!

It is almost criminal that they are blocking any real action on this issue.

Glad to see Hillary calling them out. Great comment by Hillary,

9. Republicans must not give a shit about their great-grandchildren.

And at this rate, it might even be their children or grandchildren.
