Beto blames U.S. for drought in Guatemala, says God and nature had nothing to do with it
2020 presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke blamed the United States for the drought in Guatemala and claimed America's harmful environmental emissions are spreading destruction throughout the world.
O'Rourke was speaking with South Carolina voters Monday at a small rally and said the drought in Guatemala was not caused by "God, nor by mother nature," but climate deniers and citizens who generate large carbon emissions. He also blamed America for helping cause civil war in Central America.
"The people of Honduras, and Guatemala, and El Salvador – reduce violence in their home communities, violence which we are somewhat to blame for – the civil wars we’ve been involved in, the drug trade that we've facilitated, the war on drugs that has militarized and hollowed out their civic institutions in their home countries," the failed 2018 Senate candidate began.
"And Guatemala, suffering one of the greatest droughts in their recorded history, caused not be God nor by mother nature, but by you and me and all of us and our emissions and our excesses and our inaction in the face of the facts, and the science, and the truth." [emphasis added]
Oh, dear. Nurse, Beto's off his meds again! Please do something about it.
