“Trump-backed Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker made some curious statements about air quality and climate change during a campaign speech,” according to an article in Mediaite, “claiming that the U.S. has good air that China is ruining.”
To quote from that article:
Walker claimed that the U.S. is not being polluted by our citizens, but rather “Since we don’t control the air our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move.”
“So it moves over to our good air space. Then now we got to clean that back up…”
Mehmet Oz, of TV doctor fame, once did an examination of Donald Trump, when the now former president was running for office, but “never laid hands on Trump and only asked the candidate questions,” according to an opinion piece in CNN. “One of them was how Trump stayed healthy on the campaign trail.”
Candidate Trump noted: “It’s a lot of work. When I’m speaking in front of 15,000 and 20,000 people and I’m up there using a lot of motion, I guess in its own way it’s a pretty healthy act…A lot of times these rooms are very hot, like saunas, and I guess that is a form of exercise…”
And Dr. Oz then said: “If a patient of mine had these records, I’d be very happy, and I’d send them on their way.”
If only, back then, Herschel Walker had been expounding upon his floating good air theories, maybe Dr. Oz could have added some of that to his observations regarding Donald Trump’s health.
But only if, of course, the air over Mr. Trump’s political rallies hadn’t drifted our way from China. Or vice versa?
Dr. Oz, by the way, is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
Last, but not least, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who said in the Huffington Post, she didn’t “know who’s running the federal government these days: Joe Biden or Prince John…”
