Beto: Our Response To Climate Change Should Be Met with the Same Response We Did on the Threat of Nazi Germany

‘I’m asking Americans to make this our priority as a country’

RUSH EXCERPT:

O’ROURKE: “I’m asking Americans to make this our priority as a country. One of the reasons I love the framing of the green New Deal is it uses some of the language we might associate with the way that we met the response of Nazi Germany in World War II. All of this country coming together with a singular focus of making sure that we overcome what was at that time an existential threat to this country and to to our democracy, and by the way, lifting millions of people out of poverty and creating what was at the time the world’s greatest middle class, creating the world’s greatest country in the process. We call them now the greatest generation.”
