Chris Matthews Tells Dem Mayor of Pittsburg to Run Against Toomey: ‘You Gotta Knock that Guy Off’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PEDUTO: "I mean the whole argument about climate change has already been debated. It's over. The rest of the world except one country and it's basically as we know because of politics. Now, the more critical issue is why do all corporations in this country support the Paris agreement? Why do even fossil fuel companies support the Paris agreement? Because they understand where the economy of the world is going, and it's not going to stop because we're not going to be a part."
MATTHEWS: "Not the Koch brothers."
PEDUTO: "Well, but the rest."
MATTHEWS: "But Tillerson is. The secretary of state believes in it. That's different."
PEDUTO: "So does shell and other major corporations. But the question is if we're not going to be a part of the future and the economics of the world, then we're just guaranteeing it's going to happen in Germany and southeast Asia and other parts. We have an opportunity, and we're going to take it in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow I'll sign my own executive order, and it will say, we are going to follow our agreements with Paris. I was there in Paris with almost 500 other mayors from around the world, and we realized then that federal government wouldn't implement this plan. It would be up to us. And tonight I stand with 61 American mayors who are going to do the same thing, and we're going to make sure that we follow this agreement."
MATTHEWS: "You got to run against pat Toomey someday. You got to knock that guy off."
