A group of climate activists disrupted and shut down a Nantucket, Massachusetts, fundraising event benefiting Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey after they demanded she ban new fossil fuel projects.
The activists, who are members of the group Climate Defiance, interrupted Healey during the event earlier this week on the ritzy Nantucket island located off the coast of Massachusetts and which appeared to be taking place in the backyard of a house. They then chanted slogans before being forcibly escorted off the home's premises.
"Excuse me, Gov. Healey, I'm sorry to interrupt. We are in the midst of a climate emergency," one of the protesters interjected. "My name is Matt. I'm 20 years old and you're throwing away my future. The state of Massachusetts is building 10 new fossil fuel infrastructure projects right now. We need you to ban new fossil fuel infrastructure right now. Will you commit to doing that?"
"Let's talk about that," Healey responded. "There's a huge transition that we're undergoing and there's a lot of work to do. But let me tell you—"
The protester then interrupted Healey, adding that banning fossil fuels was key to ensuring any green energy transition.
When event attendees began pushing back against the activists, the group started repeatedly chanting, "End fossil fuels, Maura. End fossil fuels."
"The fossil fuel industry bought you out," another protester screamed. "The fossil fuel industry gave you $50,000."
Attendees then started arguing with the activists, with one saying he had been a climate activist for "longer than you have been alive" to the first protester that interrupted Healey's remarks. That attendee said the group had hurt their cause by being disruptive.
Another attendee said he primarily used solar panels to power his home and a third attendee yelled "get out" to the activists.

Did all of those people (attendees and protesters) ride bicycles to the fundraiser? Otherwise, STFU about eliminating “fossil fuel” infrastructures.
Hey, your side birthed and raised these little proggy monsters! Shut up, bend over, and take the incestuous poking, you moron.
Twenty year old Matt is one of the pathetic youth of the day, who, can neither think responsibly, nor face reality.
Education in US needs major repairs.

Probably flew in from some place that rarely (if ever) sees snow, except on far off mountains.
Clearly, they’re powered by wind…
They should surround Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard with windmills.
Maura Healy is the emptiest empty suit since Obozo. There is literally nothing there.
“Massachusetts is building 10 new fossil fuel infrastructure projects right now. “
What, pray tell, is a fossil fuel infrastructure project? A gas station?
I doubt any of these nitwits used a wooden kayak or sailboat to transit the 26 miles from the mainland.

I just drove 5,000 miles in my internal combustion engine vehicle. The trees along the route thanked me.
These are the rotten fruits of leftist indoctrination. Maura and her Marxist twats should embrace the suck. They built that.
