John King calls it a DISGRACE that Trump didn’t mention climate change

CNN's John King: Trump is a 'disgrace' for omitting climate change from SOTU address

Sometimes CNN’s John King says stuff that makes him sound like a fair news guy. We’ve certainly documented some of those instances in the past.

But then he’ll do the complete opposite and reveal his liberal colors like he did last night, saying that it was a ‘disgrace’ that Trump didn’t mention Climate Change in his speech:

Here’s more from Fox News:

CNN national correspondent John King ripped President Donald Trump for not mentioning climate change in his second State of the Union address.

King began by praising defeated Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, declaring she had the “best response” he can recall either Republican or Democrat giving and how she pointed out the “differences” between the two parties.

“She talked about voting rights, she talked about climate change, and she talked about guns. You did not hear any of those subjects from the president of the United States,” King told the panel. “Democrats believe that animates their coalition, they believe it helps them, they believe, especially on the issue of climate change, especially on the issue of voting rights, it helps them to talk about things that the president won’t talk about.”

After getting some pushback from former GOP senator and CNN commentator Rick Santorum about how Republicans don’t support the positions Abrams listed, King lectured the retired politician by telling him what they should want from the president.

This is where Rick Santorum spoke up in disagreement and said “Republicans don’t support any of those things. Why would we talk about them?”

You’d think a fair news guy would concede that point, and they probably would. But that person isn’t John King:

After getting some pushback from former GOP senator and CNN commentator Rick Santorum about how Republicans don’t support the positions Abrams listed, King lectured the retired politician by telling him what they should want from the president.

“Well, all Americans should want our President, whatever the disagreements are, just look at his own national security review. Every leader, whatever his party should be talking about climate change. You can have a debate about what to do about it. But that the President of the United States, at this moment in the world, did not mention climate change in even a sentence is, just frankly, a disgrace – any president, Democrat or Republican.”

Clearly John King is one of those ‘the science is settled’ guys on the left, when we all that’s the furthest thing from the truth. The science wouldn’t have had to have been manufactured if it were actually ‘settled’ like people on the left constantly tell us.

Look, Trump’s speech was actually very good last night. I don’t think any of us would agree with everything in the speech, but there was much to agree on and like about the speech. For King to suggest not mentioning Climate Change was a ‘disgrace’ just shows how ridiculous he’s become in the age of Trump.
