Senate Democrats were left red-faced at a hearing on climate change as their 'expert witness' proved to be anything but when faced by veteran senator John Kennedy.
Budget Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse invited Olympic skier Gus Schumacher to give his perspective as the committee considered the impact of climate change on the recreation industry.
But it was all downhill for the 23-year-old as he struggled to answer basic questions and could not remember his tweets claiming the war on drugs was designed to jail black people, and calling for the police to be abolished.

How does all this theatre close our porous border?
How does this show of shows stop the eternal grift that is government today?
How do people like our thoroughly corrupt and compromised Congress live with themselves knowing that future generations will be slaves to our debts?
I fear the answer to these and other questions will be written in blood...

Brainless, uneducated twit, with ten whole years of experience with the climate now imagines he's an expert.
Dimwit. The WEATHER varies on long cycles, longer than you have been alive, let alone aware of snow.
Your perspective is far too short to be of any value at all.

This young lefty kid made a real a&& out of himself in the hearing. Whitehouse, I know that you are a dim, but what were you thinking by having this ignorant kid testify.

Senator Kennedy does not play around.
I watched a clip on this on Utube. ( I guess the feds already know that), and this boy could not answer the basic question asked of him. It was apparent that all he knew about the climate was what he read in the ramblings of the woke.

It's OK everyone, Gus is a Hight School graduate AND competes in cross-country skiing events. I don't know about you, but this makes Gus as much of a "Climate Expert" as Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, or John Kerry.

Another effective moment in the US Senate. What a joke they all are.

This guy is a skier. That's it. Using him as an "expert" is about as worthwhile as asking Mike Tyson about plastic surgery because he made some "cuts" and saw some blood. What a waste of tax payer's money. Meanwhile, the country is going to Hell....

Yeah it's fun to watch the charming Senator from Louisiana destroy these liberal experts and nominees, but check out his voting record. He's in the bag with McConnell, Thune, and the Rino contingency.
Foghorn Leghorn!

this was a masterful demonstration of prosecutor vs "expert witness" testimony and the kid turned out to be a punk demcommie plant, minus the brains to get out of his own way

Kennedy exposed the self-professed athlete as a total fool. Gus whined that he was there to testify as an athlete. Sure, but inquiries about climate change are exercises of the mind, which Gus assuredly has none.

“Well, okay. But, yeah. I don't know,' the skier admitted.” — when corrected about the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
That’s the poster boy for liberal ignoramuses right there!

A 23 year old jock imagines that he understand atmospheric science. He understands nothing much at all at his age, beyond the dynamics of a ski on snow.
His silly opinions are worth literally nothing unless he is your skiing instructor, and then his opinions on skiing technique may have real value.

The kid is a useful idiot.
As a skier, did he conduct any environmental experiments while he was speeding down hills?

Sen. Kennedy has a way about asking questions the witnesses never seem to have an answer for.
Just remember, if you grew up in Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, which were all under hundreds of feet of ice (glaciers) which melted roughly 10,000 years ago.
The climate has been changing for a long time, and long before the Industrial Revolution.
Then ask yourself why China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India and most countries aren't in a panic about the climate issues as the small group in the United States, Canada and the EU?
