Republican senator calls babies the solution to climate change

The Republican made the suggestion while blasting the Green New Deal on the Senate floor. Lee employed poster-board sized pictures of the superhero Aquaman and former President Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor so he could"consider the Green New Deal with the seriousness it deserves."After lambasting the policy as"the legislative equivalent of Austin Powers' Dr. Evil demanding 'sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads,'" Lee offered his own solution.

Lee, however, called the Green New Deal"ridiculous," comparing it to an image of Reagan firing a machine gun while riding a dinosaur. He said that, while the image is"awesome" it did not depict reality."This image has as much to do with overcoming communism in 20th Century as the Green New Deal has to do with overcoming climate change in the 21st," Lee said. He called the policy a"token of tribal identity" rather than a serious policy proposal.

This was amazing.

Great. The clown car is bursting at the seams.

Ok like the green new deal or not you have to admit that shit is funny.

Dumbest thing ever. Do these people not have families? I have two babies in my family who are both just past 1 and I want them to have good lives. I don't want them to fear fires, floods and whatever else global warming brings.

Seriously Utah This is the best you got

realDonaldTrump USSupremeCourt SenateDems SenateGOP Is tha how USA Gov is administered? STUPID QUESTION, ISN'T IT?

That’s probably the only scenario I’d be inclined to take Reagan seriously.

Mike Lee and most Republicans are so brainwashed by right-wing propaganda that it seems impossible to even ask them to listen and learn new progressive ideas.

Hysterical. Made no freakin’ sense. Crazy loony day.

Aquaman, Reagan and a Raptor? Hmmm. Maybe Utah Sen. Mike Lee took those props to his Toastmasters speech!

So ridiculous but more logical than AOC well thought out plan (joke)

Utah is a s*it state founded by a cult leader who is a pedophile and murderer.

This is your Sen.Utah ,Now this explains trump

This guy is a douch

That’s not Aquaman.. This is Aquaman..

Is this stunt truly newsworthy? CNN took the bait.

The Republican Party is The Party of Id*ots

Reagan was a war criminal. He was nothing but that.

Was he having a stroke?

...”and while doing so triggered every fanatical global warming lunatic”

Competing with Stephen Colbert? No. Not funny.👎

It’s official. This country has gone round the bend.

And then they wonder why Tax Payers dislike them.

It is the maturity of these lawmakers that always impresses me.

Mike Lee once prevented government aid for water to Flint, Michigan.

education of the masses, how not....?

You better have a serious discussion about how to deal with climate change instead of ridiculing it.

Savage😂 Let’s all just sit back and watch the Democratic Party self destruct. What’s the last good idea proposed by a Democrat?

Yikes, the tikes have run roughshod over the The House, and are crapping all over the Senate Chambers! Break out the Huggies!

The author of the bill doesn’t even take it seriously?

Politics in America folks.

What a hilarious Sen.

GOP is now the troll party.

Mikey Lee is an ass and apparently owned by the big corps that make money ruining earth.

His presentation was full of dumb things much the green new deals was full of dumb things. If anything this guy should be applauded for bringing attention to how ridiculous the GND is dumbthings

UtahGov y’all seeing what ya boys doing up there? Come on now.

As usual, the GOP is real good at tearing down other ideas. But coming up with ideas? Not so much.

The Green New Deal? Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is Utah anyway? Near the Equator?

ladies and gentlemen, our tax dollars hard at work! I wonder if he stole that from a Russian troll

Chewbacca defense

Sen. Mike Lee says we can solve climate change with more babies. Science says otherwise.During floor debate ahead of a vote on the Green New Deal, Lee told his colleagues that if they really want to address environmental concerns they’ll encourage people to have more babies.
