Lindsey Graham Pries Lips From Trump's Ass Just In Time For Earth Day: "Climate Change Is Real"

One of the more despicable senators in the US Senate now acknowledges that climate change is real after four years of kissing Trump’s ass as the know-nothing did all he could do to derail the fight against climate change and kill life on the planet.

Better late than never, but words will not stop apocalyptic climate impacts on our beautiful earth. Lindsay has, over many decades, admitted that climate change is real; he is the personification of what Meteor Blades refers to as a climate-change enabler.

Ten years ago, Lindsey worked with Senators Lieberman of Connecticut and John Kerry of Massachusetts to draft a cap and trade system. When it came time to vote, he voted against his own bill. In 2019 Graham launched what he called the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus, which he laughingly calls the conservative alternative to the Green New Seal.

I call that kicking the can down the road trick once again, so the kids will suffer and die in mind-blowing numbers due to collapse and starvation from our addiction to fossil fuels. No action from the GQP on the issue is selfish, deluded, cruel, and demented. You know, Republican values.

Here is Lindsey in his own words a few days ago.
