During a U.S. House Natural Resources Committee hearing Wednesday, Joe Biden’s Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, a former congresswoman from New Mexico, burst into tears while talking about “climate change.”

She said, “All of this is because climate change is the crisis of our lifetime!” claiming weather events were responsible for changes in temperature. “We can’t continue to be a one-industry country, referring to oil, gas, and coal.

Also during the hearing, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN), chair of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee, rebuked Haaland about the administration’s decision to ban new mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Stauber claimed Haaland had “no idea” what she was doing when her department issued the “ill-informed decision,” which he said, “has left the U.S. more dependent on China.”

Ranking member Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) came to Haaland’s defense, claiming Republicans were “berating” her during the tense hearing.

Politico reported the hearing to be “tense.”

Following the dissemination of the clip showing Haaland crying, the New Mexico-based Rio Grande Foundation think tank wrote, “Climate change is the official religion of the left. But they would rather abandon nuclear power than actually solve the problem.”

In many previous congressional hearings where Haaland has testified, she has failed to answer basic questions that pertain to her role as Interior secretary.

The propaganda is strong in this one.

[Da Coyote]

The left is the crisis of our lifetime.
No knowledge of history.
No knowledge of science.
No knowledge of the fact that they have no knowledge.
Off with their heads.
And burn the rest.

[CaptainK]

The Biden Administration is the crisis of our lifetime.

[Huskrrrr]

Get a grip, toots.

[SuperLuminal]

Freaking communist morons need to be exterminated...

[grimalkin]

Crying? Mental illness.

[livius]

These people are crazy. Bats*it crazy.

[dfwgator]

Erling Haaland would be an improvement over this wench.

[popdonnelly]

The Biden Administration never ceases to amaze. The fake news media puts the public to sleep and avoids stuff like this.

The climate-cultists have mentally harmed many people on the left. And, they are raising their children to actually be scared of fresh air and sunshine.

Climate-cultists need to be removed from positions of authority where they have any say-so over national policy.

I truly wish all such minded people would lead by example; completely rid the world of their carbon footprint by killings themselves.

Show us how it’s done, Gaia lovers.

[Secret Agent Man]

Liberals are mentally ill. Hysterical (not the funny kind).

[BenLurkin]

It’s astonishing.

A SCOTUS appointment who refuses to admit what a woman is.

An airports guy who doesn’t know the first thing about airport operations.

A surgeon general who is a man pretending to be a woman.

A nuclear administrator who doesn’t know if he’s a boy or a girl. (and steal’s women’s luggage)

A transportation secretary who doesn’t know anything about roads.

An ATF director who doesn’t know anything about firearms.

And now this.

Astonishing.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Meh. I’ve seen better emoting from Adam Kinzinger (fake) and John Boehner (real).

[Paladin2]

She is sick and needs to be medicated/institutionalized.

[ClearCase_guy]

She needs to Man up.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Way too much ch emotion; we need level headed decision makers.
