College GOP "Reaches Out" To Young Voters W. Mark Morano, Patrick Michaels, Other Liars

College Republicans at Georgetown University will host an event on campus to counter a climate change forum that is set to feature a number of 2020 democratic presidential candidates.

In coordination with Our Daily Planet, Georgetown's Institute of Politics and Public Service will host two days of climate change-centric conversations between presidential candidates and young voters. Moderated by MSNBC hosts Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi, the event will be a town-hall-style event and streamed live.

Less than half a mile away from where at least nine candidates, including Senator Bernie Sanders, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and entrepreneur Andrew Yang are slated to speak, the College Republicans will host their own panel of speakers. Titled, "Climate Forum: a Rebuttal," Rowan Saydlowski, vice president of Georgetown's College Republicans, said in a statement that the event's goal was to provide an "alternative perspective" for students.

EDIT

On Thursday night, Georgetown students will have the choice to attend the climate forum or the rebuttal. For those opting for the rebuttal, they'll have the chance to listen to five speakers, identified as the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow's Marc Morano and Paul Driessen, CO2 Coalition's Caleb Rossiter and Patrick Michaels and the Institute for Energy Research's Kenny Stein.

OTOH, would be delightful to see all of, oh, seven or eight Young Republicans show up . . . .
