Then Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris on CNN’s climate townhall September 4, 2019:
Harris September 4, 2019 in CNN Climate Townhall: “There has to be some connection between the fee and bad behaviors. We have to monitor whether it’s going to be passed on to consumers. But I’m going to tell you that should never be the reason not to, to actually put a fee and as in particular a carbon fee. And under my plan, there will also be a carbon fee. And that money, a lot of it is going to go to the communities, and this is part of my environmental justice approach to the issue.

What happened during CNN’s climate town hall and what it means for 2020
CNN: Kamala Harris: What she said:
The senator from California made the first big, bold intervention of the night, vowing to abolish the Senate filibuster if Republicans refuse to cooperate to pass a Green New Deal. And previewing another controversial sweep of executive power, Harris pledged to indulge her prosecutorial instincts to tell the Justice Department to go after oil and gas firms. She warned that while Trump tweets with one hand, he’s gutting environmental regulations with the other.
