President Biden called on Americans Wednesday to “put politics aside” to focus on Hurricane Helene recovery efforts — moments before stepping on his own message by saying that anyone who doubts climate change’s role in the disaster “must be brain dead.”
“In a moment like this, we put politics aside, at least we should put it all aside, and we have here,” the retiring 81-year-old president said during a recovery briefing in Raleigh, NC.
“There are no Democrats or Republicans, there are only Americans, and our job is to help as many people as we can, as quickly as we can, and as thoroughly as we can.”
The consoler-in-chief, seated next to the Tar Heel State’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and emergency officials after an aerial tour of the Asheville area, pivoted moments later to an attack on the mostly Republican skeptics about the role of fossil fuel use in severe weather.
“Nobody can deny the impact of [the] climate crisis anymore — at least I hope they don’t. They must be brain dead if they do,” Biden jabbed.

Compare this to Ned Beatty’s speech on the snowy mountaintop in “Shooter”........
Sounds kinda familiar...
For the assertions to be true, one would need to know what weather would have occurred in absence of current levels of greenhouse gases, which nobody does know, and also, the weather on every day of every year since around 1990 when this “crisis” began, which nobody does. Katrina 2005? Well it wasn’t as strong as Camille in 1969. Then there’s the awkward fact that Galveston was wiped out by a hurricane in 1900. And in 1936 there were heat waves never seen again; worst tornado event in 1925, the 1935 and 1938 hurricanes — none fit your theory.
So that eliminates science and leaves only politics as a possible foundation for the discussion. And we see how impossible it is for people to agree.
But you know what old Joey me boy, if your standard of brain dead is to ignore a problem that anyone can see needs fixing, then what exactly are you doing about the southern border and all the illegal invaders pouring in, besides celebrating?
Now who’s brain dead?
So if there’s no man-made climate change, that means perfect weather and no hurricanes ?
🙄
Mister Biden, if you think you can control the climate, why didn’t you turn away the hurricane?
You mean abby normal?😇
And don't forget Algore, the Grand Poo-bah of Global Warming.
Climate change is the Kwanzaa of environmental disasters.
He mentions ‘brain’ and ‘dead’... How ironic.
I have a feeling that all six of the states hit by Hurricane Helene will vote for Trump this year.
lol — true
Exploiting a tragedy for political gain is on page one of the communist playbook. School shooting? Ban guns. Hurricane. Ban fossil fuels. It’s stupid and boring. Not to mention that there has been significant scientific criticism of climate change model exaggerated claims that has been censured.
Exactly. Biden needs to put politics aside.
As soon as they force china to rein in their global pollution I will pay attention.
He’s an expert in ‘braindead’....................
Joe Biden calling ME “brain dead”. That’s rich.
He’s gotta nerve calling anyone brain dead.
Now even hurricanes are political.
Good point. 🙂👍
He doesn’t even realize he set himself up, that’s how brain dead HE is.
