Al Gore Compares ‘Climate Deniers’ to Uvalde Police Officers Who Allowed Children to Be Massacred While Waiting Outside

EXCERPT:

GORE: "And we’ve got an election coming up, and this is time for all of us to step up. You know, the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those — almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred. They heard the screams, they heard the gunshots, and nobody has stepped forward. And God bless those families who have suffered so much. And law enforcement officials tell us that’s not typical of what law enforcement usually does. And confronted with this global emergency, what we’re doing with our inaction in failing to walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings. We do have the solutions. And I think these extreme events that are getting steadily worse and more severe are really beginning to change minds. We have to have unity as a nation to come together and stop making this a political football. It shouldn't be a partisan issue."
