Al Gore on the 10th Anniversay of Inconvenient Truth: Shocker No Endorsement



Here's a hat tip to Al Gore, always a Statesman of the highest calibre.

Video at the Link
Gore called himself a “lifelong Democrat” and declared that he will support the Democratic nominee.

Discussing the “unusual” 2016 presidential campaign, Gore said, “I’m one of the millions who sometimes just does a double take: ‘Whoa, what was that?’”

Though he criticized presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s stance on climate change, Gore said that he has “some basis for hope” for progress on climate change — the former veep’s signature issue — should Trump become president. “President [Jimmy] Carter said that he hopes [Trump] will be malleable, so I don’t know,” Gore said.

Gore’s interview was part of a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the release of “An Inconvenient Truth,” the climate change documentary he made following his failed 2000 campaign for president.
