Democrats' climate distraction won’t stop Hawaii wildfires

President Joe Biden can’t be bothered to disrupt his beach vacation to even comment on, let alone visit, the most deadly wildfires in over 100 years, but that didn’t stop other Democrats from blaming the carnage in Maui on climate change.

"Heartbreaking fires in Hawaii! Scientists are clear that climate chaos wreaking havoc on ecosystems everywhere is the new norm," Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) posted. "We need to take action immediately or else it will get even worse."

"The wildfires raging across Hawaii are a devastating view of our planet as we fail to adequately address the climate crisis," Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) added. And, of course, Hawaii’s own Mazie Hirono had to join in, “I think that we very much need to acknowledge that climate change is upon us.”
