Newsom Assails Trump’s U.N. Speech
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California called President Trump’s comments “an embarrassment.”
“Let’s get right into it. And I’ll just quote two lines. He called climate change the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world. And he said that the scientific consensus on global warming was created by stupid people. What’s your reaction to that?” “Well, I know Chris is coming up next and he’s well — he’s got to defend himself, not just Trump. What an abomination. What an embarrassment. What a fraud. And I say that as a guy that lives in one of the most crisis-prone states in America, but a state that’s seen lifestyles, places, traditions completely destroyed because of the reality of climate change. I’ve seen communities like Grizzly Flats and Paradise, Calif., wiped off the map. There’s no Republican — we’ve said this many times — or Democratic thermometer. It’s just reality.”
