Mike Lee (R-UT) Presents GOP Environmental Policy By Showing Picture Of Reagan Riding Dinosaur

Senator Mike Lee (R- UT) mocked the Green New Deal on the Senate floor today with pictures of Aquaman, Star Wars, and Ronald Reagan brandishing a machine gun while riding a dinosaur. Yes, really.

Lee said he would talk about the Green New Deal “with the seriousness it deserves” before teeing up “a picture of former President Ronald Reagan, naturally firing a machine gun while riding on the back of a dinosaur.” This image,” he said, “has as much to do with overcoming communism in the 20th century as the Green New Deal has to do with overcoming climate change in the 21st.” And that was only just the beginning, before he showed off more visuals, including Luke Skywalker riding a Tauntaun and Aquaman riding a seahorse.
