Socialist (or communist, really) senator and presidential frontrunner Bernie Sanders is touting his climate crusader cred by plugging “our Green New Deal”:
I make no apologies for proposing the boldest and most aggressive climate proposal with our Green New Deal. This is a climate emergency. https://t.co/aHAjeUeVCo

That’s nice, Bernie. But you’ve actually got quite a lot to apologize for, including being completely full of it.
As GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw points out, when it mattered, not even Bernie Sanders could muster a “yes” vote for “our Green New Deal”:
Then why didn’t you vote “YES” for the Green New Deal when it came to the Senate Floor?
Maybe because it’s not a plan. Or a good deal. Or even “Green.” It’s a 3rd grade science project that isn’t based in science or engineering.

Yep, we’d say that sums up the Green New Deal pretty accurately.
A climate emergency that politicians want to solve by getting more of our $$$. FYI: they won’t solve it.

The “green new deal” isn’t about climate at all it’s about control

It is a total scam, pure B.S. it’s an attempt at a massive power grab and huge new taxes. Period.

Bernie Sanders doesn’t give a crap about the climate; he wants power, plain and simple.
Shhhh. You're supposed to have forgotten all about that.
