Promoting his newly unveiled $16.3 trillion "Green New Deal," 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders called for drastic action against oil companies.
"Fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted for the destruction they have knowingly caused," he wrote Thursday on Twitter.
Sanders boasts his plan will reverse a climate "crisis" he likens to the crisis President Franklin Roosevelt faced when he launched the New Deal. The Vermont senator promises it will create 20 million jobs and achieve "100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 2030 and complete decarbonization by at least 2050."
He says America must "directly invest a historic $16.3 trillion public investment toward these efforts, in line with the mobilization of resources made during the New Deal and WWII, but with an explicit choice to include black, indigenous and other minority communities who were systematically excluded in the past."
The plan will "pay for itself" over 15 years, he contends, warning the price of inaction is far greater.

How about prosecuting big media execs, for treason?
That’s very funny!
Bernie Sanders should be in federal prison at a minimum. All of his assets should be confiscated. Looting the republic.

Oh sorry. I meant to say “tragic victim of a botched robbery”.
Well no reward money for the killers from the DNC but a very nice bike rack. With a plaque!!
This is a very dangerous man if he ever gets some power.
Maybe instead of buying Greenland we should buy Siberia, eh, Bern?
Oil is organic, all natural, and aged to perfection.
Why do liberals hate it so much?
Now this is Bernie's idea? What happened to the one AOC proposed? Same name, same plan? Didn't she copyright the name?
And now they want to lock up people whose product has been a key component of uncounted millions of items made for over 100 years.
Do these morons realize that the use of oil is not restricted to making gasoline? What about the other things, like plastics/fibers and other materials that are petroleum-based? Oh, I suppose those will now come from the sun and wind, too...
Unbelievable.

How about we prosecute thieving politicians as criminals?

Looter, liar, socialist. We can make it without him. His philosophy is the cause of our problems.
All ‘down ticket’ races that are within the margin of error will go to democrats. Just like they did with the midterms.
It's statistically improbable that 100% of the ‘too close to call’ would go to one party. But that's what happened.That signals massive voter fraud.
No, beat ‘em then execute them. Twice.
Prosecute anyone who votes democrat for aiding and abetting a long list of crimes, including treason.
