Ed Markey calls Mike Lee’s prop-filled Green New Deal speech ‘shameful’

Sen. Mike Lee didn’t quite bring a snowball onto the Senate floor. But the Utah Republican’s prop-filled speech Tuesday mocking the proposed Green New Deal resolution on addressing climate change elicited similar incredulous reactions from Democrats.

Lee’s speech — in which the conservative Mormon argued, seemingly genuinely, that the “real solution to climate change” was to have more children — included a dramatic portrait of former President Ronald Reagan firing a machine gun while on the back of a velociraptor, photos of Star Wars characters and Aquaman, and frames from the sci-fi disaster movie “Sharknado.”

If Dems hated it, then it must have been an excellent, convincing speech.

Lee gave the Green New Deal the level of "serious" attention it deserved.

Weird Boston hallucinations (but I guess that’s redundant).

If Dems LOVE the Green New Deal they should have voted YES on it, instead they all voted NO, because they know what an absolute DISASTER it would have been for them to do so

Interesting that they had to throw in his religion on a matter that has nothing to do with religion.

Unserious proposals deserve an unserious response.

Do you know how many times I’ve had comments removed from newspaper websites because I use progressive tactics and arguments against them?

Yeah. Alinsky’s tactics suck when you’re on the receiving end.

What is “ climate change”? How do we measure it in quantifiable terms? What year is the base line? What definable criteria do we measure or is it all just religious orthodox bull shit designed to take your freedom— take your life style and take your stuff? I think the latter.
