President Biden says people who deny climate change are ‘either really, really dumb or [have] some other motive’
President Biden delivered remarks at the Emergency Operations Center in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, where he claimed ‘everyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change' is 'either really, really dumb or has some other motive.'

FIRST ON FOX: Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign has spent millions on private jet flights since President Biden announced that he was no longer running for re-election and Harris locked up the Democratic nomination a couple of months ago.

Harris, who has jet set on the campaign trail delivering various speeches on combating climate change, said on multiple occasions that the issue is an "existential threat" to humans.

"There’s no question we have to be practical. But being practical also recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to us as human beings," Harris told CNN in 2019. "Being practical recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions are threatening our air and threatening the planet and that it is well within our capacity as human beings to change our behaviors in a way that we can reduce its effects. That’s practical."

Despite calling on people to make changes in their lives to prevent climate change, Harris' campaign has spent at least $3.8 million on private planes in less than six weeks, according to a Fox News Digital review of disbursements on the Federal Election Commission website.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
