After Americans Killed by Tornadoes, Biden Uses Tragedy to Advance Climate Change Agenda

To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, never let a good tragedy go to waste.

Take the storms that ripped through a number of states and killed dozens of people late Friday and early Saturday night. According to CNN, officials believe the death toll could top 80, with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear saying over 70 could have been killed in his state alone.

So on Saturday, when President Joe Biden talked about the tragedy, he naturally put some of the blame on “climate change.”

Climate change has become a convenient scapegoat for liberal politicians whenever an aberrant weather event happens, even if the science doesn’t back it up. And yet, Big Tech will make a move against any outlet that dares to call the left out. (At The Western Journal, we don’t kowtow to liberal pressure when it comes to reporting the facts — and you can help us bring Americans the truth and fight Big Tech censorship by subscribing.)

Biden wasn’t able to make his way to the affected area, being at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. However, according to Fox News, he took a virtual tour of the damage and then addressed reporters, where one asked him if he “could conclude that these storms and the intensity have to do with climate change.”

“All I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and climate change,” Biden said.

“The specific impact on these specific storms, I can’t say at this point.”

“I’m going to be asking the EPA and others to take a look at that,” Biden continued.

“The fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. Everything. And, obviously, it has some impact here, but I can’t give you a quantitative read on that.”
