Teen asks GOP candidate about silly climate change claims & donations; he insults her, crowd cheers

We're here to elect a water carrier for the fossil fuel industry.
 
Telling the youth they’re not allowed to be concerned or engaged makes you a part of the problem. Only a fool would be more outraged by her questions than this man’s ridiculous position on the issue.

Okay, first of all, you have absolutely no idea about her work experience. So let’s forget about that.

Her question was about a dangerously stupid and irresponsible opinion that a man running for the highest executive office in the commonwealth believes. She is allowed to call him on this bullshit.

Who would you have her appeal to if climate change is a concern for her? The courts? Well that wouldn’t make sense. The legislature? She could approach them on it. Frankly a gubernatorial candidate is exactly who she should be addressing these concerns to.

It seems like you’re mad that someone on your team got backed into a corner by a teenager.

What's "my team"? I've never lived in Pennsylvania and never heard of this guy, and have never voted in any election for anything. What i'm telling you is that controlling the earth's climate is nowhere near a governor's job.

Your team is the deliberately obtuse one, apparently.

Your team is one of conservative ideology. If im wrong I apologize, it’s just the vibe I’ve gotten from you.

If you don’t think regulating industry harmful to the environment is covered in the role of the government, then I don’t think you fully understand how the government works.

I think its silly to accuse him of sexism based on just that, he was clearly dismissing her based on her youth which she kind of opened herself up to by mentioning her age. But man what a blatant dodge, if a teenager can corner you so badly you have to default to "y-you're just a kid" and "I ain't no egghead!" then you know you're full of shit.

perfect post. Thing is, she phrased her question so perfectly that his answer was irrelevant; he got totally pwned.
 
Strauss might be young an naive, but it sounds like Wagner's old and out of touch. Basic knowledge on important issues is a must and shouldn't be dismissed like he did. No, they're not electing a scientist you muppet and hopefully not you either. I can't stand dismissive attitudes such as his in elected reps.

And what an absolute ridiculous answer -- are we here to elect a scientist or a governor? How about a governor that listens to scientists and has the integrity and humility to learn.

No doubt. He might as well have told her to stfu as it amounts to the same thing. Not public service material if you ask me.

I can understand the politicians that do it, fossil fuels are were/are big money.

It's the citizens that believe that shit that I don't understand.

If today's revelations are to be considered, it seems that at least some Republicans/Trump supporters actually believed that Trump's private attorney paid out hundreds of thousands in hush payments to his client's porn star mistresses out of the attorney's own coffers and without his client's knowledge, instruction, or payment - and that the subsequent repayment of the attorney by Trump as without knowledge.

These people can convince themselves of anything.

That guy is infuriating. "are we here to elect a governor or a scientist?" America is not Spain during the Inquisition. Since when is science and governance mutually exclusive in the United States?

Some of these people are like caricatures of southern dixiecrats
 
I can only hear “now are we here to elect a governor or a scientist?” in my head in a thick southern drawl
