WFB: Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) said Wednesday he told one of the architects of the Green New Deal “what in the heck is this” after reading through the resolution twice.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said he wanted the Senate to vote on the ultra-progressive resolution to put Democrats on the record, and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asked Durbin during an interview on “Morning Joe” how he would vote.
“I can’t tell you, to be honest with you,” Durbin said. “I’ve read it, and I’ve reread it, and I asked [Senator] Ed Markey, ‘What in the heck is this?'”
Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski laughed in response.
“You sound like Nancy [Pelosi]!” Scarborough said in reference to the House speaker’s comments on the proposal.
“He says, ‘It is an aspiration,'” Durbin said of Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.), laughing.
“OK, well that’s nice,” Brzezinski said.
“You don’t vote for aspirations though, do you?” Scarborough asked.
Durbin said Democrats would ask McConnell what his position was on global warming in the meantime.
Co-host Willie Geist asked Durbin if that meant he wouldn’t vote for the resolution in its current form. When Durbin dodged and said he’d have to take a look—after already saying he’d read it twice—Geist pressed him again. Durbin said it was “long.”
“I certainly agree with the premise,” Durbin said. “Global warming is a threat to the planet we live on, and we’re not doing enough. We should do more.” more here
Durbin the Dick will dance to the globull warming music. As in Obamacare, he never read it, voted for it and thrust the costly progressive socialist healthcare system down the throats of all Americans and the businesses they work for.
Durbin the Dick is a progressive/socialist team player, he’ll do what he’s told to do regardless of the financial damage to individuals and businesses.
Just another corrupt Illinois Politician.
Funny this jerk asks that question when the green new deal represents the culmination of his kind of thinking.
“Global warming is a threat to the planet we live on, and we’re not doing enough.”
What about the planet that we don’t live on?
A disingenuous, mendacious, lying fukkin dissimulator.
“We’re not doing enough” … enough what? Exactly? Be a bit more precise, there, you socialist tyrannical piece of shit – Anthropogenic (or even Anthropocentric) Globaloney Warming is a false-flag bullshit scam perpetrated by liars, thieves, and would-be tyrants. The “Penultimate Glacial Period” was between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago – no phones, no lights, no motor cars, no luxuries. And the “Last Glacial Maximum” occurred 20,000 to 50,000 years ago (about the time the last Neanderthal perished) – and again – no phones, no lights, no motor cars, no luxuries. We won’t even get into the “Medieval Warm Period.”
Explain that shit with your inverted hockey-stick, Pilt-Down, Lysenko science!
Political opportunists make me want to puke – especially those who abuse scientific disciplines to provide those opportunities.
izlamo delenda est …
I meant
“We’re not stealing enough”
“I mean, because I’m a Democrat, I don’t understand anything I read.”
1 question to these idiots exposes their lack of intelligence.
Do you believe the U.S. Government can manipulate the climate to its liking?
Stutter, stammer and some fools will actually say yes.
“To be honest.” That would be a first, and what’s this you read it stuff?
Running away from the AOC disaster in NY.
The same wonder Dick has always had about his clitoris.
