Related: About this forumJohn Cornyn Gets Burned Over Stupid Climate-Change Remark on Twitter
Sen. John Cornyn found himself in the hot seat this weekend after trying to engage in some social media snark over the climate crisis.
The Twittersphere lit up the Texas Republican after he dissed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for climate action. Schumer, a New York Democrat, tweeted that July 2019 was the hottest month ever, of any month, on record and warned that climate change is the planet's gravest threat.
"It's summer, Chuck," Cornyn responded, in what he likely conceived as a Mad Magazine-style snappy comeback. (Cue the Beavis and Butthead sniggers.)
