Camila Thorndike called fossil fuel industry a 'death cult' that weaponizes 'white supremacy'
The Harris-Walz campaign's climate engagement director has a long history of demonizing fossil fuels, going as far as to accuse oil and gas workers of committing "ecoterrorism" and advancing "individualism, white supremacy + toxic patriarchy," a Washington Free Beacon review found.
During an August 2022 podcast interview, Camila Thorndike—who worked at green energy advocacy firm Rewiring America before she joined Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign last month—called on "anyone who is in the fossil fuel sector to consider putting their talents elsewhere" and stop "continuing to cook the planet." It was far from Thorndike's first broadside on the industry's workers. Months earlier, in May 2022, she accused the oil and gas industry of "ecoterrorism." And in March 2021, she called on her followers to "overcome" the "individualism, white supremacy + toxic patriarchy" that oil and gas companies "weaponize."
While Thorndike's past comments reflect the views of left-wing climate activists, they stand in contrast to the more moderate approach Harris has taken on energy in the final weeks before the election—particularly in Pennsylvania, the crucial swing state home to tens of thousands of oil and gas workers. They also shed light on the kind of personnel who could staff up a potential Harris administration.
Thorndike, who did not respond to a request for comment, has dubbed oil and gas companies "evil" because they routinely turn a sizable profit.

BJ-
Yeah Harris/Walz are the extreme fringe of the extreme fringe.
They can try to hide it.
They are not normal.
