Senator Thune propped up Donald Trump’s abuse of Executive authority, saying, “I believe there is an emergency” on the southern border. Maybe getting into a Presidential groove would cure what ails our Big Slim Shady. Hmm… why does Thune invoke “experts” for the Trump policies he chooses to defend but ignores experts on issues like climate science? And what about the experts who point out that historically, walls haven’t solved the problems that Donald Trump says they will and that Trump’s folly will waste money and hurt the economy? Until Republicans get real about science, we should revoke their authority to use the “experts” card in policy debates. Senator Thune said he wants to build a border wall because experts say it’s a good idea. #WelcomeToSturgisBrown /RMxa0weWgLĪsked about the Green New Deal, Senator Thune said, “I think we are doing everything we can to get carbon out of the environment and reduce CO2 emissions.” Everything? John, did the energy giants spend some of their billion dollars in post-Paris climate accord lobbying to get you to say that? Or when you say we are doing everything we can, are you saying we are rejoining the Paris Agreement? Are we adopting a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade program? Are you coming out and rebutting Donald Trump’s denial of climate science? Senator Thune addresses the student body here in West Gym. Thune’s show appears to consist mostly of satire and tall tales. Senator John Thune put on a show for Sturgis Brown High School students on Wednesday.
