Gov. Inslee Swats Down Meghan McCain's Wingnut BS On Green New Deal
Democratic presidential hopeful Governor Jay Inslee joined ABC's The View today, and as expected, showed he's a politician who knows what he's talking about when it comes to climate change and the aspirations of the Green New Deal. He easily debunked Meghan McCain's right-wing talking points around the Green New Deal, including all the made-up costs and effects. He then explained that American innovation is the ultimate solution.
At times it is easy to forget that Meghan McCain is a conservative activist, because she so frequently attacks Trump and many of the freaks that we saw at CPAC, who take pleasure in attacking her recently departed father. On Monday, she showed us why she is a movement conservative. She had her chance to interview Washington's governor and immediately denigrated the importance of climate change and global warming as a whole.
She doesn't believe that issue alone, along with the Green New Deal will beat Trump. It didn't occur to her that just because it is his signature issue, doesn't mean he can't take apart the Narcissist-in-Charge on every other issue that comes before him.
Meghan immediately turned to the wingnut talking points from the conservative think tank, American Action Forum, which has somehow determined the cost of the deal would be up to $94 trillion, even though there is no legislation or actual bill put forth at this time.
