Katy Tur isn't buying Joe "What, ME pay child support?" Walsh's crap RE: Paris Agreement
Joe Walsh appeared on MSNBC to defend Donald Trump quitting the Paris Climate Agreement. Host Katy Tur refuted him at every turn.
Katy Tur said it was a strawman argument to say that the Paris Agreement was bad for the United States and he wants to renegotiate it. She pointed out that given that the treaty was nonbinding, there was no reason for the U.S. to pull out. She asked Joe if the move was solely political.
"I thought yesterday was the best day he had as president," Joe Walsh said. "He was an American president. He stood up for American jobs, the American economy. Katy, this is why he ran."
Katy then challenged him.
