Paul Ryan Addresses Environmental Issues, Uh, I Mean, The Proper Use Of GOP Talking Points
ouse Speaker Paul Ryan warned today against a "false choice" between economic growth and environmental stewardship, insisting the two can go hand in hand, when asked about criticism that the GOP does not protect the Earth.
"Our goal is not to have to make some false choice between economic growth and progress and being good stewards of our environment," the Wisconsin Republican said in a question-and-answer session with congressional interns. "I think technology is the answer, and so we think we can live in harmony by having good jobs, faster economic growth and technological developments, which help us."
Ryan's remarks came after an intern asked how to "combat" arguments made at his school that "Trump and Republicans do not want to protect the Earth from climate change."
EDIT
In his response, Ryan did not specifically mention climate change.
