Sheldon Whitehouse: ‘Climate Denial Operation’ Is the ‘First Alternative Facts Operation’

‘You have things like climate denial operation, which is the first alternative facts operation’

EXCERPT: 
BRZEZINSKI: "The book is about the fight against money and politics or where are we beginning here?"
WHITEHOUSE: "Well, you start with corporations out-lobbying the world by 30-1. You add that one corporate fund alone spend $700 million in the last election, promising $400 million in the next. You go to administrative agencies where regulatory capture is a phenomenon that is renowned. You go to the courts that are increasingly packed with business friendly judges and juries that are virtually extinct. You have things like climate denial operation, which is the first alternative facts operation. You put all that together, and what you end up with is a government that’s not very responsive to the American people. "
SCARBOROUGH: "Does this explain Bernie’s rise."
WHITEHOUSE: "I think it explains both Bernie’s rise and Trump’s rise."
