After the network showed a clip of a young conservative activist saying that climate change was the number one issue for young voters, Fox News moderator Martha MacCallum asked for a show of hands in response to her question, “Do you believe human behavior is causing climate change?”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis refused to participate, and then GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy declared, “I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this: The climate change agenda is a hoax.” A crowd full of Republicans started to boo.
Most of the Republicans on stage fell short of completely denying that climate change is caused by human activity. Ramaswamy, perhaps taking a page out of the Trump playbook of making the most outlandish comment possible, came right out and said it.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie shot back, “I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT.” Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley went so far as to venture, “Climate change is real.”
But moderator Bret Baier seized not on Ramaswamy’s blatant denial of the scientific consensus on climate change, but on his claim that he was the only candidate on the stage who was “not bought and paid for.” Baier took turns asking candidates, “Are you bought and paid for?” In classic Fox News fashion, a moment that could have provided insight into how far Republicans are willing to go to please young voters concerned about the environment devolved into senseless crosstalk. Still, for a party that has spent years ignoring or denying the biggest threat to our planet’s future, tonight’s responses were actually, almost, a little bit refreshing.
I wonder why so many trans people become communists when even the supporters of the left wing liberal parties openly oppose their existence 🤔
“oppose their existence”
Bullshit.
People who supper trans people 100% but yet think that self-id and trans people being in Ellen’s sports is problematic are being called “terfs” and “transphobes”
It’s just insanity.
People like you with absolutely no sense of perspective are doing more harm to trans people than anyone else.
Fuck off with that ableist “people that disagree with me are mentally ill and mental illness is for bad people” shit.
“ableist”
I mean there you are, you’ve just proved my point for me.
You just want to score moral outrage points because you’re a narcissist.
Conversations with people like you are never productive because you are addicted to the outrage / moral reinforcement mechanism you’ve built for yourself.
You had no point to make except you’re a bigoted piece of shit.
Outrage about outrage is still outrage, except you’re outraged that people care too much.
You’re projecting, hard.
Then shut the fuck up and stop replying, you bigoted piece of shit.
