Children as young as 7 reminded Senator Feinstein that their generation will be most impacted by the effects of climate change and that she must stand with her constituents. The Senator responded by asking for their ages, stating: “Well, you did not vote for me”.

@SenFeinstein went on to tell a group of children, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years. You come in here and say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that...I know what I’m doing. Maybe people should listen a little bit.”Show this thread -
Here's the full video for those asking (it's been up on fb since this afternoon) - come for Feinstein's dismissive attitude, stay for the kids going toe-to-toe with the Senator about climate policy details.https://facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2101109139978731&id=263615334116809&__tn__=%2AW-R&_rdr …

“You kids are like ‘it’s my way or the highway’...” Senator, it’s been your way for decades and you’ve taken us to the point where life itself is in question. Hit the highway.

First of all, who even says that to children? She's so out of touch and disrespected those kids. Didn't acknowledge their bravery or how caring they are about the future of the planet. Smh.

Regardless of her position on the
#GreenNewDeal how disappointing to see@SenFeinstein's response. These kids ought to be praised for their care, concern and activism, not schooled with misplaced and demeaning arrogance. -
"their care, concern, and activism".. they've just been indoctrinated by the teacher of the class.. those aren't their own thoughts that they came to from their own conclusions..

There is a right way and a wrong way to answer these kids. It's been 25 years, but I still remember talking to my Reps at 15 and which ones were snooty.
