Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who might run for president in 2020, called climate change our “biggest crisis of all†in a response to President Donald Trump’s border wall speech Tuesday night.
However, Sanders did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s simple question — if climate change is such an urgent threat, would you endorse a ban on private jets?
Sanders, known as a “climate hawk,†has made fighting global warming a central part of his 2016 presidential bid and thrown his weight behind “Green New Deal†legislation championed by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
