Bernie Sanders mocks Donald Trump’s contention that the Chinese created climate change
Appearing at a rally here, Sanders referenced a three-year-old statement from Trump in which the real-estate mogul asserted that “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
“What an insight,” the Vermont senator told his audience in a sarcastic tone. “How brilliant can you be. The entire scientific community has concluded that climate change is real and causing major problems and Trump believes that it’s a hoax created by the Chinese. Surprised it wasn’t the Mexicans.”
Snip........
Sanders, who is challenging Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, has increasingly been using Trump as foil in campaign speeches. At the same time, Sanders is seeking to reach out to working-class Trump supporters, arguing he would better represent them on economic issues.
Trump has responded in kind, calling Sanders a “wacko” among other things.
