In Case Of Questions, Break "I'm Not A Scientist" Glass, If You're A Trumpy SC Candidate

EDIT

Cunningham and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are playing offense, accusing Mace of taking money from “pro-drilling” groups. E&E News reported Mace has accepted donations from PACs that support offshore drilling, including the Club for Growth and Koch Industries.

Cunningham has vowed not to accept money from political action committees. The South Carolina Democrat is also attacking Mace for appearing to be skeptical of climate change, which is mostly caused by fossil fuel production.

Cunningham recently shared a clip of a local interview in which Mace says she is “mixed” on climate change science and recognizes “both sides of the issue.” “This is downright disqualifying in the Lowcountry,” Cunningham tweeted, noting South Carolina’s propensity for floods caused by sea-level rise. “The Lowcountry can’t afford a climate denier in Congress.”

Asked to clarify her position by the Washington Examiner, Mace repeated she is “not a scientist” and acknowledged sea levels are rising, but whether it is caused by “manmade” climate change or natural reasons is “up for debate.”

But I recognize you can drive on two sides of the street.

Life tip. If you aren’t qualified start by listening to the experts.
