They're coming for your straws, cheeseburgers, and light bulbs: Here's what the 2020 Dems plan to do for climate change
September 05, 2019
The following is an excerpt from Blaze Media’s daily Capitol Hill Brief email newsletter:
As promised, 2020 presidential candidates showed up for a marathon seven-hour CNN town hall to discuss global warming last night. Here’s what they had to say:
- Bernie Sanders wants to put U.S. tax dollars toward aborting kids in poor countries. He also promised that he’d raise taxes again.
- Joe Biden’s eye filled with blood during the event. He also stumbled and jumbled all the way through an answer about national security.
- Biden also said the Green New Deal doesn’t go far enough with policy specifics.
- Elizabeth Warren came out against nuclear power plants. She also wants to control Americans’ use of light bulbs, straws, and cheeseburgers.
- Kamala Harris promised to nuke the Senate filibuster to pass the Green New Deal. She also wants to ban plastic straws.
- Pete Buttigieg said that fighting climate change is “perhaps even more challenging” than winning World War II.
- “Beto” O’Rourke promised to reissue every environmental regulation that the Trump administration has rolled back.
- Julian Castro wants to set aside half of all the land in the United States for “biodiversity.”
- Cory Booker wants to ban offshore drilling, while Kamala Harris wants to ban fracking.
And to cap it off, President Trump responded to the whole display with a Twitter thread tearing apart “The Democrats’ destructive ‘environmental’ proposals” and explaining that they “will raise your energy bill and prices at the pump.”
