Pence just defended Trump’s lie on climate change. He didn’t do well

[wvit1001]

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence took to the airways Tuesday morning to defend his running-mate Donald Trump from claims Trump lied during Monday night’s debate about his previous comments on global warming.

On NBC’s morning program Today, Pence was asked outright whether Trump lied when he distanced himself from his past assertions that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.

“Was that not true? Did he [Trump] tell a lie last night?” anchor Savannah Guthrie asked Pence.

Pence said Trump’s first comment on climate change, which appeared on Twitter in 2012, were “flippant and joking.”

But Guthrie quickly interjected, noting Trump has in fact called climate change a hoax numerous times on Twitter.

“ What Donald Trump’s position is the hoax is some bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. can change the climate of the Earth,” Pence replied, adding climate change plans will cost “millions of American jobs.”

Trump’s comments on climate change have dogged him for years, and on Monday, during the first presidential debate, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reminded the audience what Trump has said on climate change.

The Republican nominee interrupted her to deny what he’s said. “I did not, I did not, I don’t say that,” Trump said, though the evidence shows otherwise.

As Trump pointed out, the lunacy of climate change is not what  is important to educated Americans, the economy, terrorism, immigration and restoring America back to the constitution is..
Belief in the climate change created by man is pure idiotic since there is nothing we can do about it, it is a hoax from china that the stupid liberals bought into that is destroying our economy..

I was disappointed when Trump denied telling the truth about the global warming hoax.  Trump was right when he said it was a scam.  He should have no reason to avoid telling the truth about it.

Trump did tell the truth about GLOBAL WARMING, it's a hoax and a scam that would become one of the largest ponzi scheme's ever pulled on mankind by a government if it ever became a law were money was to be collected in any form!

We've spent $billions and $billions trying to develop alternative energy sources, punishing carbon usage.  Meanwhile our infrastructure is crumbling with neglect because our democrat government is indadvisedly focusing on something we can't control.
