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.”

Why would you need a bat? His brains are already mush. The tools you were born with would be sufficient and satisfying.
My mouth fell open and stayed there. Such breathtaking stupidity and craven opportunism are almost beyond comprehension.
They just can’t STFU! Can they?
Someone please kick this guy’s ass!
I would ask this “Gentleman” if I were to see him personally ‘Are you on drugs?’, because no normal person would say something so stupid!
He needs to drug tested.
senator democrat demon answers and says this is the fault of humans. okay senator, would it all be better if you and your family had never been born?
He’s a zombie.
That Filthy low-life human cockroach,The Rat’s just have just have to politicize everything.
The simple scumbag Whitehouse didn’t get the memo that the scam was exposed.
Sorry, Sheldon - - no “energy taxes” and “carbon trading” windfalls for you and your scumbag party.
Go play in the street, you little weasel.
Whitehouse is a piece of trash.
Now the idiot Democrats are going to pass a law that bans tornadoes stronger than F2. Probably within the next 48hrs.
This ignorant pig actually said this on the Senate floor? And he wasn’t ejected?
Another filthy slimeball Rat.
51 people dead now and this creature brings up the global warming hoax. I hope something bad happens to him..
It’s just what one can expect from people in RI.
You didn’t know that Sen. Whitehouse legally changed his name from “Shithouse”, did you? That would explain everything including “his shit for brains” thinking process.
I don’t dare say what I am thinking.
That’s true but if I happen to have a sledgehammer nearby that should also do the trick
You sure that isn’t Sheridan Whiteside?
Somewhat obscure classical movie reference.
