On Monday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) used the devastating Oklahoma tornado as an excuse to bash Republicans for denying global warming and implied Republicans were responsible for actually allowing the destructive natural disaster to occur.

“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said on the Senate floor. “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."

After blaming natural disasters in Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas on global warming and Republicans, Whitehouse continued his rant by criticizing the Republicans he blamed for then asking the government for federal aid dollars.

"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," he said, according to the Daily Caller. "And the damage that your polluters .......

Look at him. It’s obvious the boy ain’t right in the head. How they can get a mouth that big in Rhode Island is beyond me.

Well then, I suggest Sheldon go to the next place where a super cell is forming, hold up his hands and tell the tornado to go away. It would help him if he knows how to speak in tongues.

Stupid democrats use up oxygen that useful people could be breathing. Get back under the desk Sheldon.

The saddest part is that his low information constituents will firmly believe that.

This guy is a relatively rare example of a politician actually sounding as stupid as he looks.

This kind of idiotic hyperbole from a Democrat politician blaming deadly tornadoes on global warming and, by association, blame Republicans (the sensible ones, anyway) for rejecting the scam is the kind of foolish overreaching that makes them appear unhinged and unreasonable, even to apathetic Americans...which, sadly, seem to be in the majority.

The face of the new Left in American politics. Cold blooded rat bastard. Couldn’t let a “good crises” go to waste long enough to let the survivors first recover their dead before seizing the political opportunity.

I have heard everything now...these loony Dem's are so stupid..Of course they get reelected because they have stupid people voting for them..

The only thing global warming has done is make Al Gore and loons like him rich. Man wouldn't it be nice to be able to control the weather,since I vote conservative I will try and bring up a tornado and wipe out Washington..every building there then we can start over again..

The tornado outbreak in 1954 was caused by atmospheric nuke testing, according to Congress.

Being a Democrat, I’m surprised he didn’t blame the Jews, or the Tea Party, or the “racist hatred” of the mobster-in-chief and his “Tonton Macoute” IRS.
