So, 20 GOP House members who very publicly "care" about the environment.

Of that total, 3 said Trump screwed up, three said Trump screwed up but it was really Obama's fault, one said it was all Obama's fault, one whined about the agreement, and 12 said nothing. Nothing at all. They couldn't even find 140 characters within themselves.

Oh, and these are the "green" Republicans, remember that.

1. They couldn't even find..

140 characters within themselves.

Because they have no character.
Or integrity, or compassion or moral compass etc etc

2. Stephanik's just smart enough to know climate change is real but...

To ignorant to know that what Obama did in agreeing with the Paris Accord was legal because it's unlike a normal treaty that would fall under Senate super majority approval. Obama's actions on it were already given under a treaty that was legally signed and ratified by the senate in 1992 under GHWB.

FWIW... Snopes has some good info if it's needed to debate Trump's being able to withdraw/Obama's right to sign us up for it:
