re: Beto: Those writing climate change proposals =“those who were on the beaches in Normandy”

Actually what he said was, if there was a time to reestablish global leadership, like we did then, in what is now the most existential threat to the world, global warming, it is now.

But it's easier, for your purposes, to paste some random dude's tweet mischaractering his words so good job.

Exactly. He described WW2 and climate change as each being an “existential crisis” and essentially said that Americans can play a role in the latter comparable to those who landed on D-Day.

Not the best analogy of all time, but also not remotely what is being portrayed on this thread. No worse an analogy than likening poor, unarmed immigrants to an invading army.
