Absolutely CLUELESS: MTP just devoted an ENTIRE HOUR to what Dems apparently think is the top issue for America

With Nancy Pelosi setting up a select committee on the “climate crisis,” Democrats are making it very clear what they want to focus on going forward.

Pelosi: Our Select Committee on the Climate Crisis will spearhead our effort to engage the American people on the urgency of the climate crisis on public health, on reducing air pollution, on the economy for America to be preeminent in green technologies…

Because this is clearly the issue that Americans really care about.

Axios reports that Nancy Pelosi says that the climate panel she's setting up will be called the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. WHAT ABOUT CREATING A SELECT COMMITTEE ON TNE BORDER CRISIS?

It is also clear that the Democrats’ allies in the media are falling in line.

Then there’s NBC’s weekly Sunday talk show called “Meet the Press,” although today it should be called meet the climate because the ENTIRE HOUR was devoted to the “climate crisis.”

Kudos to @MeetThePress for devoting significant time to climate change. It’s more important than the government shutdown, the president’s latest tweet, and even, yes, the Mueller investigation. https://t.co/qvJnJjzan6

“We're not going to debate climate change, the existence of it… Human activity is a major cause, period. We're not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled, even if political opinion is not.” —@chucktodd in an hourlong @meetthepress on climate change.

It even earned Chuck Todd a pat on the back from CNN’s Brian Stelter.

Climate change is under-covered on television. So it's notable that @ChuckTodd @MeetThePress dedicated a special hour to the subject today. https://t.co/ZlM8mNbrB1

According to NBC’s own reporting, the climate didn’t even register on the exit polls from the 2018 midterm election.

The most important issue facing the country (via NBC):

Healthcare (41%)

Immigration (23%)

The economy (21%)

Guns (11%)

The critical political question on climate change is where it stands on Democratic priorities. If it's not an absolute top priority, nothing relevant will happen. How will we know it's a top priority? The party will start rejecting fossil fuel money. https://t.co/zRsL9pdLYg

The special counsel investigation isn’t going as they had hoped.

Holding up funding for a border wall is turning more into a fiasco for them by the day.

So it is apparently time for Democrats to use climate change to ram home the leftist policies that most of America would never support.
