A major hurricane is bringing devastation to the Bahamas and threatens the east coast of southern U.S. states. With that, Bernie Sanders saw a sales opportunity:

When we talk about a climate crisis this is what we mean. Our people are in danger. And it's only going to get worse. We have no choice but to pass a Green New Deal. https://t.co/jbtnlvDsYH — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 2, 2019

Remember what happened when the Green New Deal was actually brought up for a vote in the Senate? We do.

Never waste a crisis as a way to push a political agenda. https://t.co/nZwMvnQH34 — Michael Tupper (@mtupper17) September 2, 2019

Anytime some elite says there's "no choice," choose otherwise. https://t.co/YYtbFMLaNc — Matt Maggio (@MaggioMatt) September 2, 2019

This idiot is using the hurricane to promote his green new deal….. pathetic. https://t.co/5ZycVw8zuy — Unrulycanadian ???? (@unrulycanadian) September 2, 2019

What was Bernie saying when the U.S. recently went nine years without a major hurricane making landfall? We’re guessing he blamed that drought on climate change.
