While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.
Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters.
“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”

The rat is a scum bag. Its a disease and they should be quarantined.
Sheldon is being naughty and stupid, again. Yep, he really is that dumb.
Perhaps we can share rides?
Worse than the Wellstone memorial. This is who they are.
I think we need to find a designated driver first.
Lived in Tornado alley all my life it just happens and we that live there know it’s not Global warming.
Mother Nature has warmmer air and cooler air and when they collide and you have a Tornado. What are you gonna do push the jet stream back up to Canada grab some smarts Idiot. 50 trillion dollars are not gonna stop a F-4 and neither is Scientific Rhetoric or RI BS!!
Now make with the cash and be snappy about it. Do what we say, and nobody gets hurt.
What a bunch of insane screed. Has he had a mental breakdown? I would vote that puppy out in a HEARTBEAT!
Looks like a fairy to me....
Message to Sheldon Whitehouse:
Sir, I don’t know if you have a soul. I don’t know if you have a brain.
What I do know Sheldon, is that you could at least wait until the children are memorialized and buried before spouting your global warming bs.
Sheldon, it seems your behavior has a pattern. You didn’t wait until the children of Sandy Hook were buried either before trying to take our civil rights away.
Like your savior bho, you don’t have to scratch deep to find the marxist.

So the reality of 4-5 real, democrat scandals are nothing to be concerned about but the fantasy of human caused warming is just cause for further impoverishing us all. It’s a mental illness.

This is sick, absolutely sick.
How appropriate that their party mascot is a giant jackass.
He’s completely wrong even if one believes in manmade global warming. The lower temperature contrast from north to south will cause fewer strong tornadoes. And it probably already has since there is a century or so decline in strong tornadoes. Similarly if the Senator knew something about it, he might know that tornadoes peak in April and May, not July. But he knows less than nothing about it.
I wish one of those fathers of a child killed by the tornado would pay a visit to that congressmen and set him straight.
Demons and devils come from many walks of life, senator. Senator is Global Warming (as you call it) created by a demon or devil or do you blame God?
Newsflash for the dim idiot. There is a tornado season in Oklahoma and this is the middle of it.
