This is a MAGA stretch.
Former Secretary of State and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton raised eyebrows this week when she blamed “MAGA Republicans” for the weather. Yes, really.
From Fox News:
Clinton’s social media post came in response to a tweet from left-wing think tank Center for American Progress which stated “MAGA Republicans are pouring fuel on the climate crisis fire.” The post included an image of recent media stories highlighting the recent spate of high temperatures in the U.S. and noted Republicans voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats’ $739 billion climate package — which President Biden signed into law in 2022.

The former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee’s post comes amid above-average summer temperatures. Democrats have been quick to blame climate change, though some climate experts like Ryan Maue, the former top climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, have noted heat waves aren’t new.
“Without climate change, July’s summer heat in the U.S. Southwest would have been ‘virtually impossible,'” Maue tweeted Tuesday. “I guess that’s true if you memory hole 1925, 1930s, 1950s, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2012, 2020, etc. and the rest of the almanac.”
“Hot enough for you? Thank a MAGA Republican. Or better yet, vote them out of office,” Clinton tweeted Tuesday.
Hot enough for you?
Thank a MAGA Republican.
Or better yet, vote them out of office. https://t.co/0MFC6rPq6o
