Hey! Leave Leo alone!
RFK Jr. said people we should blame people's choices for climate change.
It's all Congress and the Koch Brothers' fault!
Fields asked: 'So will you lead by example?'
Kennedy Jr interrupted: 'No no...I do lead by example.'
'Are you going to give up your cell phone?' she said.
'No,' he responded.
'Are you going to give up your car?'
Visibly aggravated, Kennedy Jr pointed his finger in the reporter's face and barked: 'Are you going to give up your car?'
She calmly responds: 'I'm not the one who's here talking about the environment'.
The multi-millionaire then declared he will not stop using a phone or a car because he does not believe that quality of life should be sacrificed for the environment.
'Are you concerned about the damage that the cell phone and electricity generation causes to the environment?'
He exclaimed: 'Are you joking about this!'
'No, I want to know if you're willing to give up your iPhone,' she asks.
'No.'
'Why not? Doesn't it start with people like you?'
'No.'
The conversation then fell into confusion.
Fields asked: 'So will you lead by example?'
Kennedy Jr interrupted: 'No no...I do lead by example.'
'Are you going to give up your cell phone?' she said.
'No,' he responded.
'Are you going to give up your car?'
Visibly aggravated, Kennedy Jr pointed his finger in the reporter's face and barked: 'Are you going to give up your car?'
She calmly responds: 'I'm not the one who's here talking about the environment'.
The multi-millionaire then declared he will not stop using a phone or a car because he does not believe that quality of life should be sacrificed for the environment.
Finally, Kennedy Jr launched a direct attack at the young woman in which he grabbed the microphone and called her questions 'inane'.
Pointing in her face, he says: 'One of the biggest canards that the press if falling for is blaming individuals for their own choices. That's not the issue, the issue is what's happening on Capitol Hill and that's the thing you guys aren't paying attention to.
'You're letting these people you're letting the Koch brothers run our country, subvert our democracy, corrupt our politicians, capture the -'
Fields tries to ask a question but Kennedy Jr grabs the mic aggressively and continues: '...capture the agencies that are protecting us from pollution, and destroying local democracy on every level.
'And that's what you ought to be paying attention to rather than asking trivial and inane questions about what kind of car somebody drives or whether or not they use cell phones.'....[/I]
