Sen. Ron Johnson mouths to GOP group that climate change is 'bullsh--' just weeks before deadly heat

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin called climate change "bullsh--" during a GOP luncheon in early June, just weeks before a heat wave claimed dozens of lives in the Pacific Northwest. Scientists have linked the historic high temperatures to climate change.

"I don't know about you guys, but I think climate change is - as Lord Monckton said - bullsh--," Johnson said during the Republican Women of Greater Wisconsin Luncheon at Alioto's in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, in comments caught on video and first reported by CNN. "By the way, it is."

Johnson - who referred to Lord Christopher Monckton, a climate skeptic who has held positions in the British government and press - did not actually say "bullsh--" out loud, but mouthed the word.

The Wisconsin senator defended himself in comments to CNN, rejecting the notion that he's a climate change denier.

No you're just a garden variety dumbass. Climate change ain't the only thing you've been wrong about.
