As Hurricane Helene, fueled by the heat of climate change, smashes through the States causing havoc, Trump, pandering to those who want to keep burning fossil fuels, spreads the lie that climate change is a scam!
For those suffering from the heatwaves, droughts, forest fires, hurricanes, floods and extreme weather it sure doesn’t feel like a scam!
Pandering to his base of conspiracy-believing uninformed followers he stokes up the fires!
Despite claiming that climate change is a “scam”, Trump is planning to make a campaign stop in Georgia on Monday, one of the states hardest-hit by Hurricane Helene.
He has also tried to turn the disaster into a campaign issue, condemning both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s response.
The Harris campaign, meanwhile, has accused Trump of being insensitive when he said those impacted by Helene will be “okay” during a campaign rally in Walker, Michigan, on Friday – despite the mounting death toll.
