Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday went back and forth on social media over climate change, with the Republican upstart denying the intent of climate change policies and the Biden surrogate saying Ramaswamy's "coal agenda is up there with your 9/11 theories."
Responding to a post from Newsom on the climate crisis, Ramaswamy said that the "climate change agenda has NOTHING to do with the climate & everything to do with letting China catch up to the U.S."
He also said that the U.S. should "drill. Frack. Use Coal. Embrace Nuclear."
