GOP Is So Responsive On Global Warming That Oregon Republicans Ready To Walk Out Yet Again

SALEM, Ore. (AP) – The GOP leader in the Oregon Senate says there could be another walkout by Republicans over legislation aimed at stemming global warming.

Senate Minority Leader Herman Baertschiger, Jr., told reporters Wednesday that a bill being prepared by Democrats in the Legislature, which they control, is similar to one that was introduced in 2019.

Republicans in the Senate staged a nine-day walkout over that bill, denying a quorum.

They returned only after Democrats realized they lacked votes to independently pass the measure.

Republican policy is anti-science, anti-reality, and anti-US in their agenda? Wanna make money? Run for Congress as a Republican. Want to lose money and a sense of the future? Vote Republican.
