Denier Media Confused And Irritated By President Biden's Environmental Justice Experts Knowing Stuff
Having tried, and largely failed, to turn public opinion against President Biden’s infrastructure plan by claiming it’s all about climate change (something the vast majority of people want action on) the right is still struggling to find an attack that’s actually relevant and will stick.
For example, Benji Backer of the American Conservation Coalition, a group that appears to be using climate concern as a way to rehabilitate the GOP’s image with The Kids These Days (by lying about democratic socialism) was recently on a podcast of the Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal to discuss how conservatives can “reclaim the narrative on environment.” Backer went on the dirty-energy-funded, climate-denial-peddling outlet to deliver the usual platitudes about how the right needs “an all-of-the-above strategy that really leads with American innovation and capitalism in showing how the market can lead.” A truly dramatic break from the GOP’s usual rhetoric on climate!
Seriously though, while the far left focuses on systematic change instead of individual action, Benji has real solutions, like asking himself “how can I make tea at home instead of having to go out and buy tea every time that I need a caffeine break?” Ah yes, having to ask oneself “how can I make tea at home,” the pinnacle of conservative climate solutions! Whatever would we do without this brilliant free market environmental wisdom?
(Oh and just in case anyone at ACC sees this — while it might be fun to re-up Backer’s embrace of leaders of predatory delay from last Earth Day, you might want to consider dropping your Earth Day 2020 praise of Rep. Matt Gaetz, as a “conservative environmental leader,” given that Gaetz is an alleged underage sex trafficker who Venmo records suggest funds “tuition” and “school” for girls in $300 increments.) Somehow, though, that wasn’t even the dumbest climate content on the Daily Signal lately, as appearing right next to Backer’s interview is a hard-hitting investigative piece showing that Biden’s “Environmental Justice” appointees actually understand environmental justice.
