Sen. Amy Klobuchar was slammed Tuesday for appearing to suggest that voting for Democrats in the November midterm elections could help thwart hurricanes and the effects of climate change.
“We just did something about climate change for the first time in decades,” Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a former presidential candidate, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” as she ticked off recent legislative wins for her party, including the climate change-focused Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden enacted last month.
“That’s why we’ve got to win this as that hurricane bears down on Florida,” the senator added. “We’ve got to win in the midterms. We understand that.”
Critics quickly accused Klobuchar of trying to score political points from a looming natural disaster — as Hurricane Ian strengthened into a mammoth Category 3 storm and churned closer to the Sunshine State.
“The new science: so the hurricane is punishing Floridians for voting Republican, not because it’s a seasonal event and has been since before this grift,” former NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch tweeted. “Nice sentiment @amyklobuchar as people are fleeing inland and praying they don’t lose their homes.”
