Graham Throws Not A Scientist Line Back At GOP Climate Change Deniers
Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-SC) took a shot at Republican climate change deniers Tuesday, throwing the “I’m not a scientist” line back at those in his own party who he said stubbornly refuse to believe scientists.
“Late Night” host Seth Meyers asked Graham, who has
previously urged his GOP colleagues to break from the party on environmental issues, if he’s “surprised” to find so many climate change deniers in the party’s ranks.
“Well I’m not a scientist,” Graham responded. “but here’s the problem I’ve got with some people in my party:
When you ask the scientists what’s going on, why don’t you believe them? If I went to 10 doctors and nine said, ‘Hey, you’re gonna die,’ and one says ‘You’re fine,’ why would I believe the one guy?”
