CAN'T GET AWAY FROM POLITICS – OVERNIGHT: You'd think that Joe Biden, who got into politics about the same time that Thomas Jefferson did, would know by now that there's a time and place for trying to advance your political agenda. But Joe just doesn't get it. From Fox:
President Biden on Saturday addressed the fatal weather that ravaged parts of the South and Midwest and used the tragedy to further his own beliefs on climate change.
While speaking to reporters and virtually assessing the tornado damage from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden was asked whether he "could conclude that these storms and the intensity have to do with climate change."
"All I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and climate change," Biden said. "The specific impact on these specific storms, I can't say at this point."
"I'm going to be asking the EPA and others to take a look at that," Biden added. "The fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. Everything. And obviously it has some impact here, but I can't give you a quantitative read on that."
Biden's remarks follow a series of deadly storms and tornadoes which swept across Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri overnight and resulted in multiple injuries and the deaths of nearly 100 Americans.
Along with the storms came an extreme amount of catastrophic damage. As of Saturday morning, more than 200,000 customers remain without power in Tennessee and Kentucky…
…In November, Biden claimed climate change is "an existential threat to human existence as we know it" at the United Nations' COP26 conference and apologized for former President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.
COMMENT: Hey Joe, how about taking care of all those Americans who were ripped up by the tornadoes and forgetting for a moment your political program. One of the biggest raps against this administration is that it has lost touch with the American people, and the rap is correct. There seems very little human contact or human feeling. All is politics, but that's not how individual Americans think.
