Biden tours damage from wind-swept Colo. wildfire, only to then cite climate change and tout windmills
January 9, 2022 | Robert Jonathan
Perhaps as another example of the Democrats’ mantra of never letting a crisis go to waste, President Joe Biden appeared to blame climate change for last week’s devastating Colorado wildfire before going on a tangent about windmills.
Since politics is typically the top priority for the left, he also used the occasion to tout the Build Back Better spending spree, which is currently stalled in the 50-50 U.S. Senate because West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin has expressed grave concern about its massive inflationary impact.
On Friday, Biden toured the hard-hit Boulder County area where a “wind-driven, prairie-grass fire” laid waste to about 6,000 acres and destroyed about 1,000 homes and other buildings, Reuters reported.
The damage from the fire, which is said to be the most destructive in the state’s history, and the cause for which has yet to be determined, is estimated to be in excess of $500 million.
“Fanned by gale-force winds, the flames at times devoured football field-size stretches of drought-parched landscape in seconds,” Reuters reported.
