BERNIE SANDERS in Iowa: "Tonight, we say to Donald Trump and the fossil fuel industry--"— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 8, 2019
SOMEONE IN CROWD: "Fuck you!"
[laughter]
SANDERS: "Well, that is one way of phrasing it. I myself was gonna say it a little differently. I am a senator..." pic.twitter.com/HrxffLcqx7
If your attack on the "fossil fuel industry" is about ANWAR and opening public lands to drilling, you have my sympathies. But if your attack is simply on the "fossil fuel industry," my first question is going to be: how did you get to that rally?
I mean, I'm all for the Green New Deal, at least in concept (do we have it in concrete, yet?), but fossil fuels basically undergird modern industrial society. Shouting "FUCK YOU!" at oil companies is, well, just stupid. Exxon doesn't have my best interests at heart, but Exxon isn't forcing us all to buy their fossil fuels.
